How is CIP (7-84 PTH) different from CAP (1-84 PTH)?
As listed above, structurally, “CAP ” is 1-84 PTH and “CIP ” is most likely 7-84 PTH. Both CAP (1-84 PTH) and CIP (7-84 PTH) are secreted by the parathyroid gland. Functionally, CIP (7-84 PTH) causes the body to do the opposite of 1-84 PTH or CAP , in terms of serum calcium, osteoclast formation, bone resorption, bone turnover, and bone formation. CIP (7-84 PTH) has an inverse biological activity compared to that of 1-84 PTH. (ref. Slatopolsky et. al., Kidney International 2000; Vol.58:753-761.
