MeSH Heading: Pituitary Hormone-Releasing Hormones
Tree Number(s): D06.472.699.327.740; D12.644.400.400.740; D12.644.548.365.740; D12.776.631.650.405.740
Unique ID: D010906
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D010906
Annotation: general, prefer specifics
Scope Note: Peptides, natural or synthetic, that stimulate the release of PITUITARY HORMONES. They were first isolated from the extracts of the HYPOTHALAMUS; MEDIAN EMINENCE; PITUITARY STALK; and NEUROHYPOPHYSIS. In addition, some hypophysiotropic hormones control pituitary cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and hormone synthesis. Some can act on more than one pituitary hormone.
