lipotropin
lipotropin Either of two peptide hormones produced in the anterior pituitary gland that trigger the mobilization of fat deposits and the transfer of lipid components to the bloodstream. β-lipotropin is formed by cleavage of the precursor pro-opiocortin, and is itself cleaved to form γ-lipotropin and β-endorphin.
