Preferred Label : receptors, corticotropin;
MeSH definition : Cell surface receptors that bind CORTICOTROPIN; (ACTH, adrenocorticotropic hormone)
with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. Pharmacology suggests there
may be multiple ACTH receptors. An ACTH receptor has been cloned and belongs to a
subfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors. In addition to the adrenal cortex, ACTH
receptors are found in the brain and immune systems.;
