Hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is among the most consistent neuroendocrine abnormalities in major depressive disorder (MDD). The peptide adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) mediates HPA axis function during stress and is encoded by the proopiomelanocortin (POMC) gene polycistronically. After screening
