ACTH 1-39

Description

ACTH 1-39

ACTH 1-39 (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone) is the naturally occurring, full-length peptide composed of 39 amino acids, synthesized and released by the anterior pituitary gland. It plays a key role in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis by stimulating the adrenal glands to secrete cortisol, aldosterone, and other corticosteroid hormones. This hormone is frequently utilized in both research and clinical settings to examine adrenal activity and the regulation of hormonal pathways.

Common applications include:
– Evaluating adrenal gland function
– Studying cortisol synthesis and control mechanisms
– Investigating HPA–axis dynamics
– Exploring endocrine processes and stress responses
– Performing diagnostic stimulation tests
