[edit] Description
Growth hormone-releasing peptides precursor [Contains: Growth hormone-releasing peptide (GH-releasing peptide) (fGRP); fGRP-related peptide1; fGRP-related peptide 2; fGRP-related peptide 3].
[edit] Source Organism
Rana catesbeiana (Bull frog).
[edit] Taxomomy
Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Amphibia; Batrachia; Anura; Neobatrachia; Ranoidea; Ranidae; Rana;Aquarana.
[edit] Subcellular Localization
Secreted protein.
[edit] Developmental Stage
[edit] Similarity
Belongs to the FARP (FMRFamide related peptide) family.
[edit] Post translational Modification
[edit] Function
Primary role is to release GH from the pituitary. May act as an endogenous ligand in the bullfrog hypothalamo-hypophysial system
