ACTH (18-39), Human (CLIP)

ACTH(18-39), also called corticotropin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP), is a POMC-derived ACTH fragment with biological activities distinct from adrenal ACTH signaling, including reported effects on pancreatic secretion.

• 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.
