Official gene symbol | | PTH2R |
Full name | | parathyroid hormone 2 receptor |
Aliases | | ,PTHR2, |
Gene summary | | The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family 2. This protein is a receptor for parathyroid hormone (PTH). This receptor is more selective in ligand recognition and has a more specific tissue distribution compared to parathyroid hormone receptor 1 (PTHR1). It is activated only by PTH and not by parathyroid hormone-like hormone (PTHLH) and is particularly abundant in brain and pancreas. [provided by RefSeq] |
