Descriptor English: Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
Descriptor Spanish: Hormona Adrenocorticotrópica
Descriptor corticotropina
Entry term(s) ACTH
adrenocorticotropina
hormona adrenocorticotropa
hormona adrenocorticotrópica
Scope note: Hormona del lóbulo anterior de la hipófisis que estimula la CORTEZA SUPRARRENAL y la producción de CORTICOESTEROIDES. La ACTH es un polipéptido de 39 aminoácidos cuyo segmento N-terminal, de 24 aminoácidos, es idéntico en todas las especies; a este extremo se debe la actividad adrenocorticotropa. Después de sufrir diferentes transformaciones, la ACTH puede dar lugar a ALFA-MSH y al péptido del lóbulo intermedio similar a la corticotropina (CLIP).

Scope note: 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).
