Thyrotropin-releasing factor (TRF) = thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) = thyroliberin. 

The class III cytokine receptor family includes two TNE receptors, the low affinity NGE receptor and 7-ceU surface recognition sites that appear to play a role in proliferation, apoptosis, and immunodeficiency. TNE-a (- 17, 000 protein) is produced by astrocytes and microglia and can induce fever, induce slow-wave sleep, reduce feeding, stimulate prostaglandin synthesis, stimulate corticotrophin-releasing factor and prolactin secretion, and reduce thyroid hormone secretion. TNE-a stimulates IL-1 release, is cytotoxic to oligodendrocytes, and reduces myelination this has been impHcated in multiple sclerosis and encephalomyelitis. Astrocyte TNE-a receptors mediate effects on IL-6 expression and augment astrocytic expression of MHC in response to other stimulants such as lEN-y. 

SRIF acts as an excitatory neuromodulator in the CNS inhibiting the release of TRH, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), growth hormone releasing factor (GHRH), and NE. It produces general arousal and hypotension. It inhibits the release of a number of peptides and modulators in the GI tract. 

J (339), a 28-amino acid peptide, is a member of a family of stmctuially related peptides that includes secretin [1393-25-5] (340), growth hormone releasing factor (GRF), and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) [137061(341) (83).

Other peptides that have been linked to the actions of ethanol are corticotropin-releasing factor, urocortin, leptin, cholecystokinin, melanocortins, and galanin (for reviews, see Cowen et al. 2004 Egli 2003 Thiele et al. 2003). 

Figure 38-9. Diagrammatic representation of the termination process of protein synthesis. The peptidyl-tRNAand aminoacyl-tRNA sites are indicated as P site and A site, respectively. The termination (stop) codon is indicated by the three vertical bars. Releasing factor RF1 binds to the stop codon. Releasing factor RF3, with bound GTP, binds to RFl. Flydrolysisofthe peptidyl-tRNA complex is shown by the entry of HjO. N and C indicate the amino and carboxyl terminal amino acids, respectively, and illustrate the polarity of protein synthesis.
