Identification of "B" receptor for natriuretic peptide in human kidney.

abstract：:The PTH activates both adenylate cyclase and a mechanism that increases membrane-associated protein kinase-C (PKC) activity. To define the hormone's PKC activation domain we have used a panel of PTH fragments and ROS 17/2 rat osteosarcoma cells as the target cells. PTH equally and maximally increased PKC activity in R...
