Abstract
Recent mutagenesis and cross-linking studies suggest that residues in the carboxyl-terminal por- tion of PTH(1-34) interact with the amino-terminal extracellular domain of the receptor and thereby contribute strongly to binding energy; and that res- idues in the amino-terminal portion of the ligand interact with the receptor region containing the transmembrane helices and extracellular loops and thereby induce second messenger signaling.Keywords
