title: [ACTH activates in vitro protein kinases A and C in human adrenal cortex].
abstract: The activation of protein kinases A and C by corticotropin in the human adrenal cortex was analyzed. ACTH influence in vitro significantly increase protein kinase A activity, total protein kinase C activity in the membrane fraction of adrenocorticocytes and 11-hydroxycorticosteroids production of adrenal cortex tissue. Either cAMP-dependent protein kinase A or protein kinase C are included to postreceptoral messenger mechanism, that mediates ACTH action in adrenocortical cells.
