Abstract excerpt
The biogenesis of rat thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) involves the processing of its precursor (proTRH) into five biologically active TRH peptides and several non-TRH peptides where two of them had been attributed potential biological functions. This process implicates 1) proper folding of proTRH in the endoplasmic reticulum after its biosynthesis and exit to the Golgi apparatus and beyond, 2) initial...
