| Adrenocorticotropic hormone, as its name implies, stimulates the adrenal cortex. More specifically, it stimulates secretion of glucocorticoids such as cortisol, and has little control over secretion of aldosterone, the other major steroid hormone from the adrenal cortex. stimulates secretion of adrenal corticosteroids and induces growth of adrenal cortex. ACTH also called Tetracosactide directly activates G-proteins. A stimulator of adenylate cyclase and cAMP formation. Its molecular weight is 4541.3 having an amino acid sequence of H-Ser-Tyr-Ser-Met-Glu-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Lys-Pro-Val-Gly-Lys-Lys-Arg-Arg-Pro-Val-Lys-Val-Tyr-Pro-OH. | | | Catalog # | A0758-01L | | Dimers and Aggregates | Less than 1% as determined by silver-stained SDS-PAGE gel analysis. | | Endotoxin | 0.1ng/ug (IEU/ug) of ACTH. | | Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized ACTH in sterile 18M -cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. | | Stability | Lyophilized ACTH although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -180C. Upon reconstitution ACTH should be stored at 40C between 2-7 days and for future use below -180C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles. | | Molecular Weight | 4541.3 | | Purity | 98% as determined by RP-HPLC, anion-exchange FPLC and/or reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel. | | Concentration | As reported | | Form | Supplied as a lyophilized powder without additives. | | | Important Note | This product as supplied is intended for research use only, not for use in human, therapeutic or diagnostic applications without the expressed written authorization of United States Biological. |
