High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and radioimmunoassay have been used to characterize corticotrophin-related peptides in extracts of the intermediate lobe of the rat and mouse pituitary gland. Multiple peaks have been observed, which resemble corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP) in that they cross-react with antisera raised against the COOH-terminal region of corticotrophin (ACTH) but not against NH2-terminal directed antisera. These CLIP-like peptides were released from the incubated neurointermediate lobe and their secretion was inhibited in the presence of dopamine. Heterogeneity of peptide species was also observed with antisera raised against alpha-MSH. Multiple peaks of CLIP and alpha-MSH-like material were identified in pituitary extracts from the mouse and levels were elevated in the genetically obese (ob/ob) animal. The nature and possible functions of multiple forms of intermediate lobe peptides are discussed.

D009074 Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormones Peptides with the ability to stimulate pigmented cells MELANOCYTES in mammals and MELANOPHORES in lower vertebrates. By stimulating the synthesis and distribution of MELANIN in these pigmented cells, they increase coloration of skin and other tissue. MSHs, derived from pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), are produced by MELANOTROPHS in the INTERMEDIATE LOBE OF PITUITARY; CORTICOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR LOBE OF PITUITARY, and the hypothalamic neurons in the ARCUATE NUCLEUS OF HYPOTHALAMUS.

D010904 Pituitary Gland, Posterior Neural tissue of the pituitary gland, also known as the neurohypophysis. It consists of the distal AXONS of neurons that produce VASOPRESSIN and OXYTOCIN in the SUPRAOPTIC NUCLEUS and the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS. These axons travel down through the MEDIAN EMINENCE, the hypothalamic infundibulum of the PITUITARY STALK, to the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.

D000324 Adrenocorticotropic Hormone An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).
