Which cells contain the ACTH receptors that increases the synthesis of cAMP second messengers?

Which cells contain the ACTH receptors that increases the synthesis of cAMP second messengers? Correct Answer Fasciculata cells

ACTH has been shown to have specific receptors on fasciculata cells that increase the level of c-AMP in the cell. This activation is reliant on calcium. DNA materials are produced as a result of this and then RNA is transcribed.

As the man gazed upon the elephants, he was completely confused as to why the elephants didn’t just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp. R. Curious and wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer nearby why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape. S. All that was holding them back from escaping the camp, was a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs. 6. The trainer replied, "When they are young and smaller, they are tied in these ropes which they are unable to break. By the time they grow bigger and strong enough to break the rope, they are already conditioned to believe that they can't break the ropes."
Receptor R is over expressed in CHO cells and analyzed for expression. 6 × 107 cells were incubated with its radioactive ligand (specific activity 100 counts per picomole). If the total counts present in cell pellet was 1000 cpm. the average number of receptors R per cell is (assume complete saturation of receptors with ligand and one ligand binds to one receptor)
