Abstract
The biosynthesis of numerous polypeptide hormones implicates two types of precursors: pre- and prohormones. The structure, characteristics, and role of these hormone precursors is discussed taking as examples parathyroid hormone and insulin. After this general introduction, the case of the common precursor for adrenocorticotropin and beta-lipotropin is then discussed. Its maturation proceeds through a serie of proteolytic steps which lead to the formation of various end products characterized each by a biological activity of its own.
