ACTH (18-39) (human), identified by CAS NO.53917-42-3, is a high-precision synthetic peptide fragment designed for advanced endocrine and pharmacological research. This potent melanocortin receptor agonist specifically targets the MC2 receptor on adrenal cortical cells, facilitating the study of cortisol biosynthesis and the modulation of the HPA axis with exceptional specificity.
By eliminating the N-terminal regions of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), this fragment serves as a critical tool for isolating adrenal-specific responses from pituitary or neural interference. It is an indispensable reagent for researchers investigating Addison's disease, Cushing's syndrome, and the complex mechanisms of steroidogenesis in academic and pharmaceutical biotechnology environments.
