ACTH (4-11) is a peptide fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone, a peptide hormone found in the brain that is involved in the biological stress response.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) (18-39), also known as the Corticotropin-like Intermediate Lobe Peptide, stimulates insulin secretion as well as amylase and protein secretion in a dose-dependent manner similar to secretin and carbamylcholine.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) (1-10), human is a fragment of the adrenocorticotropin hormone. It exhibits a weak potency of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), but only at high doses (100 and 1000 nM).
18-Hydroxy-11-deoxy Corticosterone (18-OH-DOC) is a mineralocorticoid produced by the zona fasciculata of the adrenal gland, with its biosynthesis regulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and angiotensin II. This regulation heightens 18-OH-DOC production in isolated human adrenal glomerulosa cells and allows for its formation from 11-deoxy corticosterone (DOC) in human SK-MEL188 melanoma cells. As an intermediate in progesterone metabolism, 18-OH-DOC can be converted to aldosterone in rat adrenal glands' capsular portion. Its continuous infusion (200 μg/rat per day) has been shown to raise systolic blood pressure in uninephrectomized saline-drinking rats, and elevated plasma levels of 18-OH-DOC have been observed in the adb/db mouse model of type 2 diabetes.
ACTH (1-17), an adrenocorticotropin analogue, is a potent human melanocortin 1 (MC1) receptor agonist with a Ki of 0.21 nM. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), also known as corticotropin, is produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) (1-39) human (TFA), a member of the melanocortin family, is a melanocortin receptor agonist that stimulates corticosteroid (CS) production by the adrenals and is also found in the central nervous system (CNS).
