Preferred term

Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone  

Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • A peptide of 44 amino acids in most species that stimulates the release and synthesis of GROWTH HORMONE. GHRF (or GRF) is synthesized by neurons in the ARCUATE NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, GHRF stimulates GH release by the SOMATOTROPHS in the PITUITARY GLAND. Ectopic GHRH secreted by human pancreatic tumor.
