MeSH Heading: Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone
Tree Number(s): D06.472.699.327.740.860; D12.644.400.400.740.860; D12.644.548.365.740.860; D12.776.631.650.405.740.860
Unique ID: D013007
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D013007
Scope Note: 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.
Entry Term(s): GHRH 1-44; GRF 1-44; Growth Hormone-Releasing Factor; Growth Hormone-Releasing Factor 44; Human Pancreatic Growth Hormone-Releasing Factor; Somatocrinin; Somatoliberin; Somatotropin-Releasing Factor 44; Somatotropin-Releasing Hormone; hpGRF 44
