Description
ACTH 1-391
ACTH (1-39), or adrenocorticotropic hormone, is a 39 amino-acid peptide hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. As a core part of the body's stress response system, it binds to melanocortin receptors (MC2R) in the adrenal cortex to stimulate the production and release of cortisol.
