AdrenocorticotropicHormone (ACTH) (18-39), also known as the Corticotropin-like Intermediate Lobe Peptide, stimulates insulin secretion as well as amylase and protein secretion in a dose-dependent manner similar to secretin and carbamylcholine.
AdrenocorticotropicHormone (ACTH) (1-10), human is a fragment of the adrenocorticotropin hormone. It exhibits a weak potency of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), but only at high doses (100 and 1000 nM).
AdrenocorticotropicHormone (ACTH) (1-39), rat, is a potent melanocortin 2 (MC2) receptor agonist. During in vitro incubation with membrane preparations, peptide fragments of ACTH (1-39) were formed and subsequently isolated by high-pressure methods.
