DESCRIPTION

Also known as TIP39_HUMAN, PTH2, TIP39, TIPF39. Plays a role as a potent and selective agonist of PTH2R resulting in adenyl cyclase activation and intracellular calcium levels elevation. Induces protein kinase C beta activation, recruitment of beta-arrestin and PTH2R internalization. May inhibit cell proliferation via its action on PTH2R activation. Neuropeptide which may also have a role in spermatogenesis. May activate nociceptors and nociceptive circuits. Ligand of high affinity for the PTH2 receptor (PTH2R).
