New England Journal of Medicine, 2000•Mass Medical SocParathyroid hormone–related protein was identified in the 1980s as a tumor product that had
the ability to activate parathyroid hormone receptors and cause hypercalcemia. 1
Parathyroid hormone–related protein resembles parathyroid hormone not only in terms of its
genetic sequence but also in terms of its genetic structure and is thus a second member of
the parathyroid hormone family. 2 As expected of a protein that activates the parathyroid
hormone receptor, parathyroid hormone–related protein causes hypercalcemia by …
