Abstract excerpt
The adrenocorticotropin receptor or ACTH-R which is the type 2 among the melanocortin receptor family is almost exclusively expressed in the adrenal cortex, reflecting a high degree of tissue specificity. In human cultured adrenocortical cells, we have previously reported that ACTH in contrast to...
