Scope note

  • Cell surface receptors that bind CORTICOTROPIN; (ACTH, adrenocorticotropic hormone) with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. Pharmacology suggests there may be multiple ACTH receptors. An ACTH receptor has been cloned and belongs to a subfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors. In addition to the adrenal cortex, ACTH receptors are found in the brain and immune systems.

History note

  • 94; was CORTICOTROPIN RECEPTOR (NM) 1981-93; CORTICOTROPIN RECEPTORS & ACTH RECEPTORS were SYs 1983-93
