title: N-terminal amino acid sequence of two novel tumor-derived adenylate cyclase-stimulating proteins: identification of parathyroid hormone-like and parathyroid hormone-unlike domains.
abstract: A 17,000 dalton human adenylate cyclase-stimulating protein has previously been purified from a human tumor associated with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy. This report describes the purification of a related 7,000-9,000 MW protein from a second tumor, and provides N-terminal amino acid sequence of these two peptides. The sequences of the peptides are identical, defining the smaller peptide as an N-terminal portion of the larger peptide. The two peptides possess one region of strong homology with parathyroid hormone and a second divergent region. These structural similarities and differences may explain the similarities and differences which occur in patients with hyperparathyroidism and humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.
