Abstract in another language
Human peptide hormones are components of various regulation mechanisms. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), for example, is involved in calcium homeostasis in blood and, additionally, plays a crucial role in bone metabolism. Uroguanylin is part of the intestinal epithelial electrolyte regulation machinery acting via the guanylyl cyclase pathway.
Structure determination of peptide hormones is an important step to coorelate structure and function, to understand endocrine diseases on a molecular level, and to design therapeutics mimicking the peptide structure.
