Teriparatide acetate is a synthetic form of parthyroid hormone (PTH). PTH regulates the metabolism of calcium and phosphate. PTH and PTH-related polypeptide (PTHrP) play important roles in calcium homeostasis of bone, kidney, breast, and placenta; they signal via the PTH/PTHrP and PTH2 receptors. PTH(1–34) administration suppresses cardiovascular calcification and down-regulates aortic osteogenic programs driven by diabetes and dyslipidemia.
