Regulatory peptides produced in the anterior pituitary.
Several peptide families have been detected in the anterior pituitary of several species, including man, and for many of them evidence for local synthesis has been found. Although a paracrine action seems evident for a few, the precise function of most of these peptides remains unknown.
