	Peptide Hormones
		The principal hormones of the posterior pituitary are the nonapeptides oxytocin and vasopressin.
		Its signal peptide is removed in the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum and it is packaged into secretory vesicles in the Golgi, folded to its native structure, and locked in this conformation by the formation of 2 disulfide bonds.
		Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) is derived from a 153-amino acid proprotein encoded by the GIP gene and circulates as a biologically active 42-amino acid peptide.

	Peptide hormone - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Peptide hormones are a class of peptides that are secreted into the blood stream and have endocrine functions in living animals.
		Peptide hormone precursors (pre-prohormones) are then processed in several stages, typically in the endoplasmic reticulum, including removal of the N-terminal signal sequence and sometimes glycosylation, resulting in prohormones.
		Mature peptide hormones then diffuse through the blood to all of the cells of the body, where they interact with specific receptors on the surface of their target cells.

		Insects often elaborate a diuretic hormone and an antidiuretic hormone that are involved in homeostasis of salt and water balance and also in increased fluid cycling to enhance filtration.
		Peptides, prostaglandins and a few other classes of signal molecules share the physiological feature that their actions are mediated by way of specific receptor cites located on cell surfaces.
		The first issue in the physiology of peptide hormone action is that their specific receptor proteins are located on the outside of target cell membranes.

	XXX Peptide Hormones
		Little is known about the structure of peptide hormone/ receptor complexes, and structure determination of such complexes is still a challenge in structural biology.
		From structure determination of isolated peptide hormones together with biochemical and biophysical data, however, indirect information about the mode of receptor interaction and the receptor bound structural state of the hormone can be deduced.
		Therefore, functional and structural studies of peptide hormones are expected to shed further light on the pathology and possible therapy of several endocrine diseases.

	Ghrelin the Peptide Hormone
		Ghrelin was discovered as the peptide hormone that potently stimulates release of growth hormone from the anterior pituitary.
		An interesting and unique modification is imposed on the hormone during synthesis in the form of an n-octanoic acid bound to one of its amino acids; this modification is necessary for biologic activity.
		Overall, ghrelin seems to be one of several hormonal signals that communicates the state of energy balance in the body to the brain.

		Hormones are accumulated in secretory granules at axonal terminals in the median eminence and are then released into the primary capillary plexus of the pituitary portal system for transport to the pars distalis of the anterior pituitary.
		Each peptide hormone or analog which evades enzyme degradation leads to a compound with a longer duration of action than would otherwise be expected.
		Leutinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone [GnRH/FSH-RH] causes the release of LH (Leutinizing Hormone) and FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) from the anterior pituitary.

		These hydrophilic (and mostly large) hormone molecules bind to receptors on the surface of "target" cells; that is, cells able to respond to the presence of the hormone.
		Hormone secretion is increased (or decreased) by the same substance whose level is decreased (or increased) by the hormone.
		Although a few hormones circulate simply dissolved in the blood, most are carried in the blood bound to plasma proteins.

	peptide hormones
		The trivial names proposed for peptide hormones are given in the "Appendix." Abbreviations of the new names are not proposed, and the use of currently fashionable abbreviations is discouraged.
		Since peptide hormones show species variation in their amino-acid sequence, their names are essentially "generic names", and are insufficient to specify a single chemical compound.
		The committee has created the missing names for follicle-stimulating hormone, "follitropin," and for luteinizing hormone, "lutropin." It is recommended that pituitary hormones discovered in the future also be named with the ending -tropin, This suffix should be restricted to pituitary and similar hormones and should not be used for, e.g.

		Hormones are chemical messengers which interact with target cells by means of specific receptor molecules located either on the plasma membrane or within the target cell's cytoplasm.
		In contrast to peptide hormones, steroids are lipid soluble compounds synthesized from cholesterol.
		Three requirements must be satisfied in order for a peptide hormone to exert an effect on a target cell: (1) receptors must exist on the plasma membrane, (2) a transducer system must be present for information transfer, and (3) there must be a cellular response mechanism.

		This hormone is a glycoprotein, rather than a simple peptide, which accounts for the PAS+ reaction in the cells that make it.
		Some authorities believe that there are two subcategories of gonadotropes, one for each hormone; but labeled antibody studies have localized both hormones in the same cell, and the question of whether there are two populations is not settled.

	Steroid Hormones
		The particular steroid hormone class synthesized by a given cell type depends upon its complement of peptide hormone receptors, its response to peptide hormone stimulation and its genetically expressed complement of enzymes.
		Unlike peptide hormone receptors, that span the plasma membrane and bind ligand outside the cell, steroid hormone receptors are found in the cytosol and the nucleus.
		The steroid hormone receptors belong to the steroid and thyroid hormone receptor super-family of proteins, that includes receptors for steroid hormones, thyroid hormones, vitamin D and vitamin A (retinoic acid).

	Antidiuretic Hormone (Vasopressin)
		Injection of small amounts of antidiuretic hormone into a person or animal results in antidiuresis or decreased formation of urine, and the hormone was named for this effect.
		Secretion of antidiuretic hormone is also simulated by decreases in blood pressure and volume, conditions sensed by stretch receptors in the heart and large arteries.
		Another potent stimulus of antidiuretic hormone is nausea and vomiting, both of which are controlled by regions in the brain with links to the hypothalamus.
