Description

Seractide is a synthetic polypeptide analog of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), specifically the 1-17 fragment, with the CAS registry number 63304-56-3. This compound is of significant interest in pharmaceutical research and development due to its role in stimulating the adrenal cortex and its utility as a diagnostic and research tool. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical manufacturers, clinical research organizations, and academic institutions engaged in endocrinology and metabolic disorder studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of advanced peptide-based therapeutics and diagnostic agents.
• Research & Development: Used as a reference standard and active agent in preclinical studies investigating adrenal function, steroidogenesis, and ACTH receptor activity.
• Diagnostic Reagent: Employed in specialized diagnostic kits and assays for assessing adrenal gland responsiveness and related endocrine disorders.
• Biochemical Research: A critical tool for studying peptide hormone structure-activity relationships, signal transduction pathways, and metabolic regulation.
• Academic Studies: Utilized in university and institutional laboratories for teaching and advanced research in endocrinology and peptide chemistry.
