User:Diberri/Peptide hormone nomenclature
In
IUPAC-IUB provided some nomenclature recommendations for peptide hormones
. Though not all in widespread use, they do crop up every so often, and so it's worth mentioning alternative names where appropriate.
General guidelines
In brief, the general guidelines are:
- new names for hormones of the adenohypophysisbear the ending "-tropin";
- hypothalamic releasing factors (releasing hormones) bear the ending "-liberin";
- hypothalamic release-inhibiting factors (inhibiting hormones) bear the ending "-statin"
