These neurons produce the short peptide hormones oxytocin and vasopressin
(Fig. 23-10), which move down the axon to the nerve endings in the pituitary,
where they are stored in secretory granules to await the signal for their
release.

FIG. 26.10. Cleavage of proinsulin to insulin. Proinsulin is converted to insulin by proteolytic cleavage, which removes the C-peptide and a
few additional amino acid residues. Cleavage occurs at the arrows. (From Murray RK, Granner DK, Mayer PA, et al. Harper’s Biochemistry.
