Description
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), or corticotrophins.The ACTH (1-24) ( ) (POMC, Adrenocorticotropin, beta Lipotropin, alpha (beta) Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone, CLIP, Corticotropin-lipotropin LPH, MSH, NPP, POC, Pro-opiomelanocortin) ( ) is a α- or alpha protein sometimes glycoprotein present in blood.Hormone releasing factors and releasing hormones are signaling molecules produced by glands in multicellular organisms. The glands that secrete Luteinizing hormones LHRG and LH, FSH comprise the endocrine signaling system. The term growth hormone releasing hormone GHRH is sometimes extended to include chemicals produced by cells that affect the same cell (autocrine or intracrine signaling) or nearby cells (paracrine signaling). Human recombinant LHRG and GHRH are produced in E. coli or in yeast cells.Precursor cell, also called a blast cell or simply blast, is a type of partially differentiated, usually unipotent cell that has lost most or all of the stem cell multipotency.
