14-September-2008 18:02:46 - hormone Growth hormone releasing hormone Identifiers Symbol GHRH Alt. Symbols GRF, GHRF Entrez 2691 HUGO 4265 OMIM 139190 RefSeq NM_021081 UniProt P01286 Other data Locus Chr. 20 p12 or q11.2-q12 Growth-hormone-releasing hormone GHRH, also known as growth-hormone-releasing factor GRF or GHRF or somatocrinin, is a 44-amino acid peptide hormone produced in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. GHRH is released from neurosecretory nerve terminals of these arcuate neurons, and is carried by the hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal circulation to the anterior pituitary gland where it stimulates growth hormone GH secretion. GHRH is released in a pulsatile manner, stimulating similar pulsatile release of GH. In addition, GHRH also promotes slow-wave sleep directly. 1 Relationship of GRH somatostatin The actions of GHRH are opposed by growth-hormone-inhibiting hormone, more commonly termed somatostatin. Somatostatin is released from neurosecretory nerve terminals of periventricular somatostatin neurons, and is carried by the hypothalamo-hypophysial portal circulation to the anterior pituitary where it inhibits GH secretion. Somatostatin and GHRH are secreted in alternation, giving rise to the markedly pulsatile secretion of GH. Sequence The amino acid sequence of GHRH is: Tyr - Ala - Asp - Ala - Ile - Phe - Thr - Asn - Ser - Tyr - Arg - Lys - Val - Leu - Gly - Glu - Leu - Ser - Ala - Arg - Lys - Leu - Leu - Gln - Asp - Ile - Met - Ser - Arg - Glu - Gln - Gly - Glu - Ser - Asn - Gln - Glu - Arg - Gly - Ala - Arg - Ala - Arg - LeuNH2 References ^ Obál F, Krueger J 2001.
