The characterization of the ascorbic acid-mediated alpha-amidation of alpha-melanotropin in cultured intermediate pituitary lobe cells.

Previous studies have shown that cultured rat intermediate pituitary lobe cells lose the ability to form ACTH-(1-13)NH2-related molecules (alpha MSH) and instead produce ACTH-(1-14)-related peptides. In vitro studies have shown that peptidylglycine …
