Isolation and characterization of ACTH-related peptides from porcine pituitaries.
We report on the isolation of new variants of porcine ACTH with corticotropic activity. Two of these variants differ in their amino acid sequence from porcine ACTH at one position (Arg8). This implies that they cannot be derived from the known precursor proopiomelanocortin (POMC).
