Adenohypophyseal

The secretion of anterior pituitary hormones is controlled in part by hypothalamic regulatory factors that are stored in the hypothalamus and are released into the adenohypophyseal portal vasculature. Hypothalamic regulatory factors so far identified are peptides with the exception of dopamine. Secretion of anterior pituitary hormones is also controlled by factors produced more distally that circulate in the blood. Predominant control of hormone production may be relatively simple, as with thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), the production of which is primarily stimulated by thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and inhibited by thyroid hormones, or it may be complex, as with prolactin, the production of which is affected by many neurotransmitters and hormones.

After translation POMC is processed by proteases contained in tissue. In the adenohypophyseal corticotrophs there is no further processing of ACTH and y3-endorphin, whereas in the intermediate lobe of other species, ACTH can be processed to form a-MSH, and y-LPH can be processed to form 6-MSH.
