Hormones have traditionally been classified by their mode of biosynthetic origin. We postulate a mode of hormone biosynthesis that leads to a new subclass of protein hormones. Members of this class are derived from a cleavage event that also generates a much larger, functionally unrelated, non-hormonal protein. Here, we examine four representative members of this group: endostatin, endotrophin, asprosin and placensin. We have named this subclass of protein hormones Caudamins, from the Latin word cauda meaning “tail”. These four caudamins have shown promise in understanding and treating diseases like metabolic syndrome and cancer. Identification of the rest of the caudamins will likely provide a plethora of drug targets for a variety of diseases.
