Role of ACTH receptor in adrenocortical tumor formation.
Adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) is the major regulatory hormone of steroid synthesis and secretion by adrenocortical cells. The actions of ACTH are mediated by its specific membrane receptor (ACTH-R). The human ACTH-R gene was recently cloned, allowing systematic determination of its sequence, expression and function in adrenal tumorigenesis. The presence of oncogenic mutations of the ACTH-R gene i...
متن کاملMultiple hormone receptors in the adenylate cyclase of human adrenocortical tumors.
Adenylate cyclase responses to pituitary hormones including adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), biogenetic amines, prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), angiotensin II, and glucagon were evaluated in adrenocortical tumors and hyperplastic adrenal tissues, obtained from patients with Cushing's syndrome at surgery, and in normal adrenals. The adenylate cyclase of two normal adrenals was activated only by ACTH...
متن کاملThe expression of the ACTH receptor.
Adrenal glucocorticoid secretion is regulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) acting through a specific cell membrane receptor (ACTH-R). The ACTH-R is a member of the G protein superfamily-coupled receptors and belongs to the subfamily of melanocortin receptors. The ACTH-R is mainly expressed in the adrenocortical cells showing a restricted tissue specificity, although ACTH is recognized ...
متن کاملReduced adrenocortical responsiveness to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in socially subordinate female marmoset monkeys.
Socially subordinate female common marmoset monkeys undergo pronounced, chronic reductions in basal plasma cortisol levels, which appear to result both from socially induced suppression of reproductive hormones and from direct effects of social subordination. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that this cortisol suppression is mediated by reduced adrenocortical responsiveness to adrenocort...
متن کاملPhotoaffinity labeling of corticotropin receptors.
A photoaffinity label for corticotropin (ACTH) receptors was prepared by selective chemical modification of the single tryptophan residue in the hormone by reaction with 2-nitro-5-azidophenylsulfenyl chloride. The photoreactive derivative, [(2-nitro-5-azidophenylsulfenyl)-Trp9]ACTH (2,5-NAPS-ACTH), stimulated corticosterone synthesis to 60% of the maximal rate induced by ACTH in isolated rat ad...
