Abstract: Three new peptides with high steroidogenic activity in vivo have been isolated from porcine pituitary extracts. Similar in molecular weight to porcine ACTH, they differ from the usual amino acid composition in molar ratios of aspartic acid, threonine, serine, glycine, valine, methionine and phenylalanine.
