Also known as PTHR2, parathyroid hormone 2 receptor

protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Gene data

PTH2R
Name
parathyroid hormone 2 receptor
Type
protein-coding
Aliases
PTHR2

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family. 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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
