serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates or other biological fluids.
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.
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.
SecretedMelanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Alpha And Beta-Endorphin Are Stored In Separate Granules In Hypothalamic Pomc NeuronsSuggesting That Secretion May Be Under The Control Of Different Regulatory Mechanisms
