Figure 20-10. ‘Mechanism of ction of ACTH on cor
sob secreting cells inthe Inner two zones of the adrenal
‘cortex. When ACTH binds tots receptor I, aderyi
‘clase (AC) is activated via G, The resulting increase in
‘AMP activates protein kinase A and the kinase phos-
DPhorylates cholesteryl ester hydrolase (CE, increasing
Ins activity. Consequently, more free cholesterol s
ormed and corverted to pregnenalone in the mito-
‘chondria. Note that in the subsequent steps in steroid
blosynthesis, products are shuttled between the ito-
choncria and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)
Corticosterone is also synthesized and secreted.Figure 20-8, Outre of ermon isynthessnthe onan andor cas che aden core,
