Specifications

• Antigen: ACTH
• Classification: Monoclonal
• Conjugate: DyLight 594
• Formulation: 50mM Sodium Borate with 0.05% Sodium Azide
• Gene Symbols: POMC
• Immunogen: Synthetic peptide corresponding to aa1-24 of human ACTH (Uniprot: P01189)
• Quantity: 0.1 mL
• Research Discipline: Neuroscience
• Test Specificity: ACTH (same as Corticotropin) is a 39 amino acid active peptide produced by the anterior pituitary. This monoclonal antibody is specific to Synacthen (aa1-24 of ACTH); does not react with CLIP (aa17-39 of ACTH). POMC (pro-opiomelanocortin or corticotropin-lipotropin) is a 267 amino acid polypeptide hormone precursor that goes through extensive, tissue-specific posttranslational processing by convertases. POMC is cleaved into ten hormone chains named NPP, ACTH, alpha-MSH (Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone), beta-MSH, gamma-MSH, CLIP (corticotropin-like intermediary peptide), Lipotropin-beta, Lipotropin-gamma, beta-endorphin and Met-enkephalin. ACTH is also produced by cells of immune system (T-cells, B-cells, and macrophages) in response to stimuli associated with stress. Anti-ACTH is a useful marker in classification of pituitary tumors and the study of pituitary disease. It reacts with ACTH-producing cells (corticotrophs).It also may react with other tumors (e.g. some small cell carcinomas of the lung) causing paraneoplastic syndromes by secreting ACTH.
