Definition
English
:
An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the
ADRENAL CORTEX
and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield
ALPHA-MSH
and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).
