Description

Acth (6-9) is a synthetic peptide fragment of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). This specific sequence, corresponding to amino acids 6 through 9, is a key pharmacologically active core with significant research and therapeutic interest. It is primarily utilized in advanced biochemical research and pharmaceutical development for studying neuroendocrine functions and related pathways. Global suppliers and research institutions rely on this high-purity peptide for its consistent quality and biological activity.

Application

• Neuroscientific Research: Investigation of neuropeptide function, stress response mechanisms, and behavioral studies.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Serves as a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in the development of neuroendocrine therapies.
• Biochemical Assays: Used as a critical reagent in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and other immunoassays to study ACTH pathways.
• Academic & Clinical Studies: Fundamental research into adrenal cortex stimulation and related metabolic processes.
• Peptide Chemistry: A building block for synthesizing longer, modified ACTH analogs for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.

Quality Control

Our Acth (6-9) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, mass spectrometry (MS) for identity confirmation, and amino acid analysis (AAA). We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, ensuring compliance with research and development standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dry environment. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For long-term storage, consider desiccant use and maintain under inert atmosphere if the container is opened frequently. Allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
