Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1974 Structural modifications within the active site of the ACTH molecule have produced analogs that inhibit the hormone sensitive adenylate cyclase system of bovine adrenal cortical plasma membranes. It is demonstrated that the tryptophan residue of the ACTH molecule is essential for stimulation of the enzyme.

Normal adrenocorticotropic hormone levels do not exclude adrenal insufficiency during immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy: evidence from clinical, steroid, and structural analyses [PDF]
Frontiers in EndocrinologyIntroductionImmune checkpoint inhibitor-induced isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) deficiency (ICI-IAD) represents a critical endocrine immune-related adverse event (irAE) that may become life-threatening without timely diagnosis.

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2016 Adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) acts via a highly selective receptor that is a member of the melanocortin receptor subfamily of type 1 G protein-coupled receptors. The ACTH receptor, also known as the melanocortin 2 receptor (MC2R), is unusual in that it is absolutely dependent on a small accessory protein, melanocortin receptor accessory protein (MRAP) for

Stress, 2023 Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dynamics are disrupted by opioids and may be involved in substance abuse; this persists during withdrawal and abstinence and is associated with co-morbid sleep disruption leading to vulnerability to relapse.

Effect of adrenocorticotropic hormone infusion on circulating sclerostin levels
Endocrine Connections, 2021 Glucocorticoid use is the most common cause of secondary osteoporosis. Poor skeletal health related to glucocorticoid use is thought to involve inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, a key pathway in osteoblastogenesis.
