SUMMARY

An outline is presented of the phyletic distribution of the neurohypophysial hormones and of the genetic code. The evolution of these peptides is proposed to have proceeded along the known lines of protein evolution. Based on this premise a scheme is elaborated for the evolution of the structures of the neurohypophysial hormones. Structures for some unknown intermediates are suggested.

Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.

The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.

More information is on the Reasons to publish page.
