PTH2 parathyroid hormone 2

Gene ID: 113091, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TIP39

Summary

This gene encodes the precursor of a peptide hormone that shares sequence similarity with the parathyroid hormone. This gene is expressed in various regions of the brain where it plays a role in the release of pituitary hormones, anxiety and nociception. The encoded precursor protein is proteolytically processed to generate the biologically active neuropeptide. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
