Adrenocorticotropin(1-14)OH-related molecules in primary cultures of rat intermediate pituitary cells. Identification and role in the biosynthesis of alpha-melanotropin.

The structures of the altered alpha-melanotropin (alpha MSH or alpha-N-acetyl-ACTH(1-13)NH2)-related molecules produced by cultured rat intermediate pituitary cells were investigated. Peptide analyses demonstrated that the alpha MSH-related molecules …

Acetylation of alpha-melanotropin and beta-endorphin in the rat intermediate pituitary. Subcellular localization.

The subcellular site of the further processing (NH2-terminal acetylation and COOH-terminal proteolysis) of beta-endorphin-sized molecules in the rat intermediate pituitary has been studied. Rat intermediate pituitary primary cultures that had been …
