Hormones glycoprotein nature

Furthermore, as already mentioned, N-acylated neuraminic acids are present in covalent conjugation in certain types of naturally occurring compounds other than glycosphingolipids (for example, glycoprotein hormones and natural mucopolysaccharides). The... [Pg.418]

The principal compounds that act as inhibitors of viral protein synthesis are the interferons. These compounds are members of a naturally occurring family of glycoprotein hormones (RMM 20 000-160 000), which are produced by nearly all types of eukaryotic cell. Three general classes of interferons are known to occur naturally in mammals, namely the a-interferons produced by leucocytes, P-interferons produced by fibroblasts and y-interferons produced by T lymphocytes. They form part of the human immune system. It is believed that the presence of virons and pathogens in the body switches on the mRNA that stimulates the production and release of interferons. These interferons are thought to stimulate the production of proteins that inhibit the synthesis of viral mRNA and viral proteins. a-Interferons also enhance the activity of T killer cells. [Pg.157]
