Descriptor English: Receptors, Pituitary Hormone
Descriptor Spanish: Receptores de la Hormona Hipofisaria
Descriptor receptores de hormonas hipofisarias
Entry term(s) receptores de las hormonas de la glándula hipófisis
receptores de las hormonas de la glándula pituitaria
Scope note: Proteínas de la superficie celular que se poseen alta afinidad para unirse a las hormonas hipofisarias y que generan cambios intracelulares que influyen en el comportamiento de las células. Dado que muchas hormonas hipofisarias son liberadas también por neuronas como neurotransmisores, estos receptores se encuentran también en el sistema nervioso.

Tree number(s): D12.776.543.750.750.660
RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011979
Scope note: Cell surface proteins that bind pituitary hormones with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Since many pituitary hormones are also released by neurons as neurotransmitters, these receptors are also found in the nervous system.
