Anterior pituitary hormone analogs

Thyrotropin is an anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid to produce and synthesize thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroglobulin. Thyrotropin alpha is a commercially available analog of TSH that is used to help detection of metastatic differentiated thyroid carcinoma it is also known as recombinant human TSH (rhTSH). [Pg.859]

The 36 analogs of LRH which were described after the table of this chapter was prepared constituted a similarly impressive advance in knowledge of this hypothalamus hormone (directed at the anterior pituitary gland). Conclusions, to date, indicate that the complete amino acid sequence of LRH may be necessary for maximum biological activity and that each amino acid may have an important role. An exception to these conclusions may involve the terminal Gly-NH2 but the total chain length may be necessary for binding to its active... [Pg.312]
