Corticotropin-like intermediate [lobe] peptide (CLIP) also known as adrenocorticotropic hormone fragment 18-39 (ACTH(18-39)) is a naturally-occurring endogenous neuropeptide with a docosapeptide structure and the amino acid sequence Arg-Pro-Val-Lys-Val-Tyr-Pro-Asn-Gly-Ala-Glu-Asp-Glu-Ser-Ala-Glu-Ala-Phe-Pro-Leu-Glu-Phe. CLIP is generated as a proteolyic cleavage product of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) which in turn is a cleavage product of proopiomelanocortin (POMC).
