Description

Hippuryl-arginine is a peptide hormone that is released by the hypothalamus and stimulates the pituitary gland to release other hormones. It has been shown to increase chemotactic activity in human serum, although it has no effect on carboxypeptidase or soybean trypsin activity. Hippuryl-arginine binds with basic proteins, such as albumin and immunoglobulins, and increases their enzymatic activities. This hormone also inhibits enzymes such as carboxy terminal phosphatases and aminopeptidases that are responsible for degrading amino acids. Activation of hippuryl-arginine may be due to its carboxy terminal group, which is susceptible to cleavage by proteolytic enzymes.
