Description

Pro-Opiomelanocortin Joining Peptide(79-108) is a specific bioactive peptide fragment derived from the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) precursor protein. This compound is of significant interest for its role in neuroendocrine research and as a critical reference standard in biochemical studies. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical R&D departments, and diagnostic manufacturers focused on stress response, metabolism, and endocrine signaling pathways. The peptide is supplied as a high-purity material to ensure reliable and reproducible experimental results.

Application

• Biomedical Research: Used as a key reference standard and tool compound in studies investigating the POMC system, melanocortin receptors, and related neuroendocrine pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a critical intermediate or analytical standard in the discovery and development of therapeutics targeting obesity, metabolic disorders, and stress-related conditions.
• Diagnostic Assays: Employed in the calibration and validation of immunoassays (ELISA, RIA) designed to measure POMC-derived peptides in clinical and research samples.
• Academic Studies: Facilitates fundamental research in physiology and endocrinology to understand peptide processing, hormone regulation, and signal transduction mechanisms.
• Biochemical Reagent: Acts as a substrate or ligand in enzymatic studies, receptor binding assays, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) investigations.
