The cytochemical bioassay, using glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity in the distal convoluted tubule of a guniea pig as an index, is specific and the most sensitive method of evaluating the biological activity of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Using this method, biological activities of the amino- or carboxyl-terminal PTH fragments and analogues, human (h) PTH-(3-34), [Tyr34]hPTH-(7-34)amide(NH2), [Tyr34]hPTH-(13-34)NH2, hPTH-(39-84), hPTH-(51-84), hPTH-(69-84), were tested over a concentration range of 10(-16) to 10(-13) M. In addition, the combined effect of these hormones with human or bovine PTH-(1-84) and the effect of dibutyryl (Bu)2) cAMP were also evaluated. In the 14-min time-course study, amino-terminal PTH fragments and analogues induced cyclic changes of G6PD activity with shorter cycle lengths in higher concentrations and with constant peak heights regardless of the concentrations. Human and bovine PTH-(1-84) showed the same activity on G6PD activation at 6 min. hPTH-(3-34), [Tyr34]hPTH-(7-34)NH2, and [Tyr34]hPTH-(13-34)NH2 were equipotent with PTH-(1-84) on a molar basis, and none of these analogues inhibited PTH-(1-84) even with doses up to 240 times that of PTH-(1-84). Carboxyl-terminal PTH showed no effect. (Bu)2cAMP mimicked the effect of PTH-(1-84) on G6PD activation in time course and dose response. We conclude that the amino terminus is not essential for the biological activity of PTH in the cytochemical bioassay.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007684 Kidney Tubules Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER.

D007686 Kidney Tubules, Distal The portion of renal tubule that begins from the enlarged segment of the ascending limb of the LOOP OF HENLE. It reenters the KIDNEY CORTEX and forms the convoluted segments of the distal tubule.

D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.
