Identification and partial characterization of parathyroid hormone-related protein in human and bovine milk

Abstract: Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) was measured in human and bovine milk by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and bioassay, and the molecular forms characterized by gel chromatography and immunoblotting of affinity-purified PTHrP. Mean immunoreactive PTHrP(1-34) concentrations were 23 and 87 micrograms/l in human and bovine milk respectively. Bioactive (BIO) PTHrP concentrations determined by cyclic AMP production by ROS 17/2.8 cells correlated significantly (P less than 0.001) with those obtained by RIA (BIO = … Show more

“…PTHrP was originally cloned from small amounts expressed by tumors causing humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, and shown to circulate in picomolar amounts in the blood of affected patients. But it later became apparent that 1,000 -10,000 times the concentration of the elusive protein was readily available in milk, whether produced by breastfeeding women or obtained from the corner store (134,208,473,681,742,812). Milk was tested in part because it had been known for some time that hypoparathyroid and aparathyroid women normalize mineral homeostasis or even become hypercalcemic while breastfeeding, which suggested the presence of a PTH-like factor during lactation (see sect.…”

“…If milk STC-1 levels were indeed reduced by antibody treatment, this could have negatively affected those enzymes that are responsible for the intestinal absorption of fat. Precedents for the presence of peptide hormones in milk have already been established in the case of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) (7,45) and leptin (11). PTHrP is believed to have positive absorptive effects on the neonate gut by relaxing visceral smooth muscle and increasing luminal gut volume (41).…”
