A ubiquitously expressed, secreted protein with bone resorption and renal calcium reabsorption activities that are similar to PARATHYROID HORMONE.

Overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related protein by tumor cells results in humoral calcemia of malignancy.Search for this term in our Faculty Database
