Descriptor English: Pituitary Gland, Intermediate
Descriptor Spanish: Adenohipófisis Porción Intermedia
Descriptor adenohipófisis porción intermedia
Entry term(s) lóbulo intermedio hipofisario
Scope note: Lóbulo intermedio de la glándula hipófisis. Muestra una considerable variación de tamaño entre diferentes especies: es pequeña en los seres humanos y grande en los anfibios y los vetebrados inferiroes. Este lóbulo produce principalmente HORMONAS ESTIMULANTES DE MELANOCITOS y otros péptidos del procesamiento posterior a la traducción de la pro-opiomelanocortina (POMC).

Scope note: The intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland. It shows considerable size variation among the species, small in humans, and large in amphibians and lower vertebrates. This lobe produces mainly MELANOCYTE-STIMULATING HORMONES and other peptides from post-translational processing of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC).
