Preferred Label : receptors, pituitary hormone-regulating hormone;
MeSH definition : Cell surface receptors that bind the hypothalamic hormones regulating pituitary cell
differentiation, proliferation, and hormone synthesis and release, including the pituitary-releasing
and release-inhibiting hormones. The pituitary hormone-regulating hormones are also
released by cells other than hypothalamic neurons, and their receptors also occur
on non-pituitary cells, especially brain neurons, where their role is less well understood.
Receptors for dopamine, which is a prolactin release-inhibiting hormone as well as
a common neurotransmitter, are not included here.;
MeSH synonym : pituitary hormone regulating hormone receptors; pituitary hormone-regulating hormone receptors; receptors, pituitary hormone regulating hormone;
MeSH hyponym : receptors, pituitary Hormone-Releasing hormone; receptors, hypothalamic releasing hormones; receptors, hypothalamic Release-Inhibiting hormones; receptors, pituitary hormone release inhibiting hormones; Hypothalamic Releasing Hormone Receptors; Receptors, Hypothalamic Release Inhibiting Hormones; Hypothalamic Release-Inhibiting Hormone Receptors; Hypothalamic Release Inhibiting Hormone Receptors; Receptors, Pituitary Hormone Releasing Hormone; Pituitary Hormone-Releasing Hormone Receptors; Pituitary Hormone Releasing Hormone Receptors;
