Processing of adrenocorticotropin by two proteases in bovine intermediate lobe secretory vesicle membranes. A distinct acidic, tetrabasic residue-specific calcium-activated serine protease and a PC2-like enzyme

Adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) is cleaved at the tetrabasic residue site, in pituitary intermediate lobe secretory vesicles, to yield ACTH1-17 and corticotropin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP). ACTH1-17 is then converted to alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (N-AcACTH1-13NH2) by first removing t...
