Perfusion in situ of the placenta of previously thyroparathyroidectomized fetal lambs has been used to compare the ability of various forms of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) to stimulate placental calcium transport. Whereas PTHrP (1-34) was without effect, PTHrP (1-141) was active but usually after a delay of up to 1 h, in common with the effect noted when using extracts of fetal parathyroid glands. In contrast, PTHrP (1-84) and PTHrP (1-108), tended to show a more rapid stimulatory action. It is suggested that post-translational processing of PTHrP (1-141) may occur as an activating step in the placenta in vivo.
