TRH peptide / Protirelin - 25 mg

Protirelin – Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) (CAS: 24305-27-9) Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) is a tripeptide hypothalamic regulatory hormone that regulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), as well as prolactin (for breasts growth and milk production during and after pregnancy). To obtain thyrotropin-releasing hormones, 6 pro-TRH peptides have first to be obtained from the larger preproTRH precursor (UniProt: P20396). These octapeptides are then cleaved between Arginine/Glutamine and Glutamine/Lysine residues to release 6 Gln-His-Pro-Gly peptides that will be enzymatically converted in pGln-His-Pro-NH2 peptides (pGln representing pyroglutamine). After TRH maturation (1) in neurons located in the pituitary gland, the hormone will be transported along axons (2) to reach the hypophyseal portal system via exocytosis (3). Once the thyrotrophs reached, thyrotropin-releasing hormone binds TRH-receptor (4) to enable TSH syn
