Abstract
Adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) receptor-like messenger RNA was localized in molluscan hemocytes and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells by in situ hybridization using a digoxigenin-labelled bovine complementary DNA probe. These findings suggest that the ACTH receptor gene has been highly conserved during evolution. Moreover, these data represent further support for a relationship between the immune and neuroendocrine systems in invertebrates, as documented in our previous studies.
