Corticotropin - CISMeF

Preferred Label : Corticotropin;

NCIt synonyms : Adrenocorticotropin;

NCIt related terms : adrenocorticotropic hormone; ACTH;

NCIt definition : Corticotropin (39 aa, 5 kDa) is encoded by the human POMC gene. This protein plays a role in the stimulation of cortisol secretion by the adrenal gland.;

Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A hormone made in the pituitary gland. ACTH acts on the outer part of the adrenal gland to control its release of corticosteroid hormones. More ACTH is made during times of stress.;

NCIt note : Corticotropin is secreted by the anterior portion of the pituitary gland.;
