Corticotropin, also known as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the release of cortisol from the adrenal glands. It plays a vital role in regulating the body's response to stress, immune function, and metabolism. Corticotropin helps maintain the balance of cortisol levels, which influences various physiological processes, including blood pressure, glucose regulation, and inflammation.
