corticotroph

[kor´tĭ-ko-trōf]

a type of acidophil found in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland that secretes corticotropin; it is synthesized as a large prohormone containing both corticotropin and β-lipotropin.

Endogenous corticosteroids may have their primary actions at brain and hypothalamic sites and synthetic glucocorticoids that do not bind to transcortin may act primarily on corticotropes and regions of brain outside the blood-brain barrier [27-29].

Pituitary adenomas can be derived from a single mutant cell of five differentiated cell types within pituitary gland: somatotropes, lactotropes, corticotropes, thyrotropes, and gonadotropes, which, respectively, secrete growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and gonadotropins (follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)).

SP22 was not observed in large gonadotropes or corticotropes. Additional slides were fluorescently co-labeled with SP22 and one of the AP hormones and examined by confocal microscopy.
