Additional Info
| Tissue Specificity | ACTH and MSH are produced by the pituitary gland. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Specific enzymatic cleavages at paired basic residues yield the different active peptides. O-glycosylated.reducing sugar is probably N-acetylgalactosamine. |
| Function | Corticotropin: Stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone alpha: Anorexigenic peptide. Increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone beta: Increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes. Beta-endorphin: Endogenous orexigenic opiate. Met-enkephalin: Endogenous opiate. |
