Hello!!
Adrenocorticotropic hormone is a polypeptide tropic hormone produced by and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. It is also used as a medication and diagnostic agent. ACTH is an important component of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and is often produced in response to biological stress
The function of ACTH is to regulate levels of the steroid hormone cortisol, which released from the adrenal gland.
