Receptor interaction is facilitated by four helices in structures of this substance, the deficiency of which may be caused by Sheehan syndrome.
Receptor interaction is facilitated by four helices in structures of this substance, the deficiency of which may be caused by Sheehan syndrome. The genes for it are localized to Chromosome 17 and one function of it is stimulation of chondrocytes. It is currently being tested as a treatment for Fibromyalgia, HIV, and Lyme disease.
