Related Product Information for anti-ACTH antibody
ACTH (Adrenocorticotrophic hormone) is produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, and is a key component of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. ACTH is synthesized from the precursor molecule pre-opiomelanocorin (POMC). POMC undergoes proteolytic cleavages and processing to generate not only ACTH but also a number of other small biologically active peptides including alpha-MSH and beta-endorphin, all in cell type specific manners. The production of ACTH is triggered by biological stress. ACTH, in turn, then stimulates the secretion of corticosteroids by the adrenal cortex. The half-life of ACTH in human blood is only about ten minutes. An excess of ACTH can cause Cushing's syndrome whereas ACTH deficiency can result in secondary adrenal insufficiency.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a preproprotein that undergoes extensive, tissue-specific, post-translational processing via cleavage by subtilisin-like enzymes known as prohormone convertases. There are eight potential cleavage sites within the preproprotein and, depending on tissue type and the available convertases, processing may yield as many as ten biologically active peptides involved in diverse cellular functions. The encoded protein is synthesized mainly in corticotroph cells of the anterior pituitary where four cleavage sites are used; adrenocorticotrophin, essential for normal steroidogenesis and the maintenance of normal adrenal weight, and lipotropin beta are the major end products. In other tissues, including the hypothalamus, placenta, and epithelium, all cleavage sites may be used, giving rise to peptides with roles in pain and energy homeostasis, melanocyte stimulation, and immune modulation. These include several distinct melanotropins, lipotropins, and endorphins that are contained within the adrenocorticotrophin and beta-lipotropin peptides. The antimicrobial melanotropin alpha peptide exhibits antibacterial and antifungal activity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with early onset obesity, adrenal insufficiency, and red hair pigmentation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

Product Notes

The ACTH pomc (Catalog #AAA669131) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Monoclonal Antibody to ACTH (Clone: AH26) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's ACTH can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC). IHC analysis: 1: 500-1: 2000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ACTH pomc for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "ACTH, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
