Target Details for ACTH

Target: ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH))

Alternative Name: Adrenocorticotropic hormone

Target Type: Hormone

Background:

Gene Symbols: POMC

Background: Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH, also adrenocorticotropin, corticotropin) is a 39 amino acids polypeptide tropic hormone. ACTH is synthesized from pre-pro-opiomelanocortin (pre-POMC), which is proteolytically cleaved by endopeptidases to yield various polypeptide fragments with varying physiological activity. ACTH is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. It stimulates secretion of glucocorticoid steroid hormones from adrenal cortex cells, especially in the zona fasciculata of the adrenal glands. It influences steroid hormone secretion by both rapid short-term mechanisms and long-term actions. ACTH is also used as a medication and diagnostic agent.
