DNA encoding a novel polypeptide hormone, designated CTP, has been identified in the human genome. CTP is expressed as a fusion protein (proLHRH) with luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH), and is post-translationally processed to CTP and LHRH. CTP, its derivatives, and its fusions, including proLHRH, are useful in therapy and diagnostics.
