TRH thyrotropin releasing hormone [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 7200)

Symbol: TRH

Full name: thyrotropin releasing hormone

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: Pro-TRH; TRF

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the thyrotropin-releasing hormone family. Cleavage of the encoded proprotein releases mature thyrotropin-releasing hormone, which is a tripeptide hypothalamic regulatory hormone. The human proprotein contains six thyrotropin-releasing hormone tripeptides. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone is involved in the regulation and release of thyroid-stimulating hormone, as well as prolactin. Deficiency of this hormone has been associated with hypothalamic hypothyroidism. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
