Description

Acth (7-38) (Human) is a synthetic peptide fragment corresponding to the 7-38 sequence of the human adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). This compound is a critical research tool for studying the structure-activity relationships of ACTH, particularly its melanocyte-stimulating and steroidogenic functions. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, academic research institutions, and biotechnology companies focused on endocrinology, peptide chemistry, and therapeutic development.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and active probe in studies of ACTH receptor binding and signal transduction mechanisms.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a key intermediate or analog in the development of novel peptide-based therapeutics targeting adrenal function.
• Endocrinology Studies: Essential for investigating the physiological effects and metabolic pathways of ACTH fragments in vitro and in vivo.
• Quality Control: Employed as a high-purity standard in analytical laboratories for method development and validation in peptide analysis.
