Abstract excerpt
This report examines the basis for adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) resistance in two mutant clones (Y6 and OS3) derived from the ACTH-responsive Y1 mouse adrenocortical tumor cell line. These two mutants were originally characterized by their failure to respond to ACTH with increased adenylyl cyclase activity and as a consequence were resistant to the steroidogenic effects of the hormone. We now demonstrate that ACTH...
