Summary:

Parathyroid hormone-like hormone gene (PTHLH) and its receptor, parathyroid hormone/parathyroid hormone-like hormone receptor 1 (PTHR1), play a role in epithelial mesenchymal interactions during growth and differentiation of different tissues and anatomic structures, including teats. Therefore, PTHLH and PTHR1 were evaluated as functional
candidate genes for their effects on number and shape of teats in pigs. It was found that PTHR1 is a candidate gene for number of teats and in particular for affection by and number of inverted teats.
