MeSH definition : 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).;
