Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) belonging to the melanocortine group of chemical peptides was first isolated in the 1940’s by purifying it through salt fractionation from sheep specimens . ACTH is a hormone that is being produced first as a pro-opiome by the corticotrophs in the pituitary gland which stimulates the secretion of cortisol and costicosterone from the adrenal cortex . It has been first observed to act on the adrenal glands which then produce an involution of all the lymphoid tissues which leads to the dissolution of the lymphocytes. It was observed to be targeting with high efficiency the MC4 receptors of the melanocortin receptor This hormone is consist of 39 amino acids naturally synthesized by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
This hormone is significant to the body, its deficiency in the physiological system results to various physical symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, depression, apathy and severe loss of appetite. It has been shown to induce the immune response in patients with secondary adrenocortical insufficiency leading to delirium. In addition, the supplication of ACTH in experiments with guinea pigs, results have shown that there was an increase in the DNA content of the adrenal glands.This has led to the application of the isolated hormone to medical surgeries such as treatment of lymphoid neoplasms and its supplication to the patient prior to organ transplants to depress the patient’s immune system. Synthetically produced ACTH have also been used in the study of major biochemical pathways leading to the further understanding of the degradation of proteins and peptides that are rich in Asn.
so there you have it in a nut shell another new peptide.
