Thyroid Releasing Hormone

Humans produce Thyrotropin-releasing hormone, a vital polypeptide signalling hormone. This hormone is created by the hypothalamus as part of its intricate thyroid signalling cascade. When TRH binds to its receptor, it triggers the release of thyrotropin from the anterior pituitary gland. The molecule itself was chosen for study due to its unique blend of peptides within a compact structure. It showcases all three classifications of amide: primary, secondary, and tertiary.
