packaged into secretory vesicles, which are stored and released via exocytosis in response to specific stimuli, such as an increase in intracellular Ca²⁺ and cAMP levels.

Prohormones often contain extra amino acid sequences necessary for proper folding but not for hormonal activity. Specific endopeptidases cleave the prohormone before secretion, producing the mature,
