Bone Cells:
o Skeletal metabolism is regulated by
bone cells and their progenitors.
o Among the bone cells are
1) osteoblasts,

metalloproteinases and
cysteine proteinases
that dissolve matrix.

Metabolism and
Clearance of PTH :
o the liver,
o the kidney,
o the PTG and
o blood.
o The carboxyl-terminal fragments are
cleared by GF, so they accumulate in
renal failure.
o All of the classic biological effects of
PTH are mediated by the amino
terminus, PTH1-34, and likely a
subpeptide of this sequence, but
