Abstract
Parathyroid hormone-like peptide (PLP) is thought to be a mediator of hypercalcemia in both human and rodent malignancies. A rat PLP cDNA was used as a hybridization probe in Southern blot analysis of DNAs isolated from a panel of rat-mouse somatic cell hybrids. The single-copy gene for PLP was assigned to rat chromosome 2, whereas the rat parathyroid hormone (PTH) gene has previously been assigned to rat chromosome 1. Consequently, despite significant amino-terminal homology between PLP and PTH the genes encoding these peptides in the rat as well as human species have discrete chromosomal localizations.
