ACTH (1-24), Human

ACTH(1-24) is the biologically active N-terminal fragment of human ACTH and retains the adrenal-stimulating activity of full-length ACTH(1-39). It is a standard reagent for melanocortin receptor, adrenal steroidogenesis and HPA-axis research.

• hypothalamo-pituitary axis research
• GPCR and endocrine signaling
• stress, growth-hormone or reproductive studies
• melanocortin and ACTH fragment research

Exact peptide length, terminal amidation, pyroglutamate formation and affinity labeling are integral to product identity. Use sequence- and modification-matched controls for quantitative receptor or endocrine assays.
