Beschreibung

Corticotropin is a peptide hormone that is produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland in response to stress or injury. It is used as an immunosuppressant and anti-inflammatory agent. Corticotropin binds to corticotropin receptors on cells, which triggers a series of reactions that lead to inflammation and cell death. Corticotropin has been shown to inhibit ion channels, such as voltage-gated sodium channels and calcium channels, which are responsible for signaling the release of neurotransmitters. Corticotropin also inhibits ligand-gated ion channels, such as NMDA receptors and GABA receptors, which regulate neuronal excitability.
