Printed in the U.S.A. POMC IN RHESUS ANTERIOR PITUITARY AND PLASMA: EVIDENCE OF N-ACETYLATED B-ENDORPHIN AND a-MSH

Immunocytochemical staining demonstrated N-acetylatedB-endorphin (N-AcB-End) and a -MSH in a few corticotrophs. RIA's of crude anterior pituitary extract and molecular sieving chromatography demonstrates that the major portion is B-End sized with a significant proportion being N-acetylated and an a-MSH peak. Molecular sieving chromatography of extracted plasma demonstrated a similar pattern to ...
