User:Diberri/Peptide hormone nomenclature
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1975, the IUPAC-IUB provided some nomenclature recommendations for peptide hormones. Though not all in widespread use, they do crop up every so often, and so it's worth mentioning alternative names where appropriate.
[edit] General guidelines
In brief, the general guidelines are:
- new names for hormones of the adenohypophysis bear the ending "-tropin";
- hypothalamic releasing factors (hormones) bear the ending "-liberin";
- hypothalamic release-inhibiting factors (hormones) bear the ending "-statin"
