Gene: PTH2R

Alternate names for this Gene: PTHR2

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family. This protein is a receptor for parathyroid hormone (PTH). This receptor is more selective in ligand recognition and has a more specific tissue distribution compared to parathyroid hormone receptor 1 (PTHR1). It is activated only by PTH and not by parathyroid hormone-like hormone (PTHLH) and is particularly abundant in brain and pancreas. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q34

Description of this Gene: parathyroid hormone 2 receptor

Type of Gene: protein-coding
