Supplementary information

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) also known as corticotropin is a peptide hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. It is a 39-amino acid polypeptide with a molecular mass of approximately 4540 Da. ACTH is primarily expressed in the anterior pituitary gland and smaller amounts can be found in the central nervous system. Its production and secretion are tightly regulated by corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) through a feedback mechanism involving the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.
Biological function summary

Adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce and release glucocorticoids especially cortisol. ACTH is not part of a larger complex but acts as a singular hormone in its pathway. The hormone also influences the expression of certain enzymes important for steroid biosynthesis. In addition to its role in the adrenal cortex ACTH can mildly interact with melanocortin receptors on adipose tissues contributing to lipolysis and inflammatory processes.

Pathways

Adrenocorticotropic hormone functions in the HPA axis one of the body's key stress response systems. The hormone also involves in the regulation of the corticosteroid biosynthesis pathway. The primary protein it interacts with in these processes is cortisol which in turn regulates many physiological processes including immune response and metabolism. ACTH and cortisol form a feedback loop where elevated cortisol levels inhibit the release of both CRH and ACTH.

Increased or decreased levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone can result in disorders such as Cushing's disease and Addison's disease. Cushing's disease is characterized by overproduction of ACTH often due to pituitary adenomas leading to excess cortisol production. Conversely in Addison’s disease inadequate ACTH or adrenal cortex dysfunction leads to insufficient cortisol production. Both conditions highlight the disrupted feedback relationship between ACTH and cortisol resulting in significant clinical symptoms that require careful management.

Target data

Precursor protein of pituitary hormones that are involved in diverse physiological processes, including the regulation of energy balance, stress response, immune function and skin pigmentation.. Corticotropin. Functions as a ligand for the melanocortin receptors MC1R, MC2R, MC3R and MC5R (PubMed : 8396929, PubMed : 8463333, PubMed : 8636348). Activation of MC1R increases melanogenesis in melanocytes found in the skin and hair (PubMed : 9620771). Binding to MC2R stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete cortisol (PubMed : 8636348). Contributes to the regulation of energy homeostasis through activation of MC3R (Probable). Involved in the regulation exocrine gland function through MC5R activation (By similarity).. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone alpha. Serves as a ligand for the melanocortin receptors MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R (PubMed : 8392067, PubMed : 8396929, PubMed : 8463333). Activation of MC1R promotes melanogenesis in melanocytes of the skin and hair (PubMed : 10403794, PubMed : 9620771). Contributes to the regulation of energy homeostasis through activation of MC3R (Probable). Through MC4R activation, functions as an anorexigenic peptide (PubMed : 8392067). Promotes immunosuppression and involved in the regulation exocrine gland function through MC5R activation (By similarity).. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone beta. Functions as a ligand for the melanocortin receptors MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R (PubMed : 8396929, PubMed : 8463333). Activation of MC1R increases melanogenesis in melanocytes found in the skin and hair (Probable). Contributes to the regulation of energy homeostasis through activation of MC3R (Probable). Through MC4R activation, functions as an anorexigenic peptide (PubMed : 8392067). Involved in the regulation exocrine gland function through MC5R activation (By similarity).. Melanotropin gamma. Functions as a ligand for the melanocortin receptors MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R (PubMed : 8396929, PubMed : 8463333). Activation of MC1R increases melanogenesis in melanocytes found in the skin and hair (Probable). Contributes to the regulation of energy homeostasis through activation of MC3R (Probable). Binds to MC4R with low potency (PubMed : 8392067). Involved in the regulation exocrine gland function through MC5R activation (By similarity).. Beta-endorphin. Endogenous orexigenic opiate.. Met-enkephalin. Endogenous opiate.
