Definition: A peptide derived from the cleavage of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE, found primarily in the INTERMEDIATE LOBE OF PITUITARY but also in the ARCUATE NUCLEUS of basal HYPOTHALAMUS. Its sequence is identical to the C-terminal 22-amino acids of ACTH or ACTH 18-39.
Other names Corticotropin Like Intermediate Lobe Peptide; CLIP (ACTH 18-39); ACTHalpha(18-39), Serine(31); ACTHalpha(18-39), Ser(31); ACTH(18-39); CLILP
