Product Description

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) is a peptide hormone that belongs to the family of melanocortins. It is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and plays a key role in regulating the body's response to stress. ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol, a hormone that helps the body cope with stress and maintain homeostasis. With a molecular weight of approximately 4.5 kDa, ACTH is crucial in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and is essential for the body's overall hormonal balance.

Ser-Tyr-Ser-Met-Glu-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Lys-Pro-Val-Gly-Lys-Lys-Arg-Arg-Pro-Val-Lys-Val-Tyr-Pro-OH.

Lyophilized Adrenocorticotropic Hormone although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution ACTH should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized ACTH in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
