Description

Acth Amide (1-16) is a synthetic peptide fragment corresponding to the first sixteen amino acids of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). This compound is a critical intermediate and reference standard in biochemical research and pharmaceutical development. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies focused on endocrinology, peptide synthesis, and the development of diagnostic assays. The product is supplied as a high-purity material to ensure reliable and reproducible experimental results.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and substrate in studies of ACTH structure, function, and receptor binding.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of longer ACTH analogs and related therapeutic peptides.
• Diagnostic Assays: Employed in the development and calibration of immunoassays (e.g., ELISA, RIA) for detecting ACTH levels.
• Academic Studies: A vital tool for teaching and investigating peptide chemistry, hormone action, and signal transduction pathways.
• Quality Control: Acts as a purity standard for the analysis of ACTH-related products in manufacturing environments.
