Pituitary hormones circulate as immunoglobulin-associated macro-complexes in mammals

2026-06-25

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Pituitary hormones are generally assumed to circulate as single proteins that interact directly with cognate receptors. Clinical endocrinology has recognized rare high–molecular weight “macro-hormones,” but these are usually regarded as assay interference or pathological anomalies with limited physiological significance. Because circulating pituitary hormones are measured almost exclusi...
