[Substrate specificity of peptidases catalyzing LH-RH degradation in hypothalamus, liver and heart of rat]. 1979

G Ia Bakalkin, and V V Tsibezov, and V A Isachenkov

Degradation of [125I]-LH-RH by peptidases of hypothalamus, liver and heart of the rat and the effects of LH-RH, LH-RH antagonist D-Phe2-Phe3-D-Phe6-LH-RH, LH-RH5-10, oxytocin, bradikinin, thyrotrophin-releasing hormone, melanocyte-inhibiting factor, luteinizing, follicle-stimulating, lactogenic and growth hormones were studied. It was shown that the degradation was inhibited with maximal efficiency by non-labelled LH-RH (Ki = 1,7--2,0 . 10(-6) M). This observation is indicative of peptidase specificity for LH-RH. It is assumed that specific peptidases of liver and heart are involved in the reglation of LH-RH concentration in these organs.

D007031 Hypothalamus Ventral part of the DIENCEPHALON extending from the region of the OPTIC CHIASM to the caudal border of the MAMMILLARY BODIES and forming the inferior and lateral walls of the THIRD VENTRICLE. Lamina Terminalis,Preoptico-Hypothalamic Area,Area, Preoptico-Hypothalamic,Areas, Preoptico-Hypothalamic,Preoptico Hypothalamic Area,Preoptico-Hypothalamic Areas
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007987 Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone A decapeptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of both pituitary gonadotropins, LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. GnRH is produced by neurons in the septum PREOPTIC AREA of the HYPOTHALAMUS and released into the pituitary portal blood, leading to stimulation of GONADOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.

D006728 Hormones Chemical substances having a specific regulatory effect on the activity of a certain organ or organs. The term was originally applied to substances secreted by various ENDOCRINE GLANDS and transported in the bloodstream to the target organs. It is sometimes extended to include those substances that are not produced by the endocrine glands but that have similar effects.
