Monoclonal Antibody to Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
(ACTH) (N-term) - Purified
Alternate names:
Adrenocorticotropic hormone, Corticotropin, POMC
Catalog No.:
AM33348PU-N
Quantity:
0.2 mg
Concentration:
0.2 mg/ml
Background:
ACTH (Adrenocorticotrophic hormone) is produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary
gland, and is a key component of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. ACTH is
synthesized from the precursor molecule pre-opiomelanocorin (POMC). POMC undergoes
proteolytic cleavages and processing to generate not only ACTH but also a number of other
small biologically active peptides including alpha-MSH and beta-endorphin, all in cell type
specific manners. The production of ACTH is triggered by biological stress. ACTH, in turn,
then stimulates the secretion of corticosteroids by the adrenal cortex. The half-life of ACTH
in human blood is only about ten minutes. An excess of ACTH can cause Cushing's
syndrome whereas ACTH deficiency can result in secondary adrenal insufficiency.
ACTH consists of 39 amino acids (aa), and can be proteolytically cleaved into different
active fragments including CLIP (corticotropin-like intermediate lobe peptide), consisting of
aa 17-39, which stimulates insulin production. Synacthen is an active synthetic form of
ACTH, corresponding to the first 24 aa, which is used to conduct ACTH stimulation tests.

AM33348PU-N: Monoclonal Antibody to Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) (Nterm) - Purified
Immunoprecipitation: 0.5-1 µg/500 µg protein lysate.
Immunohistochemistry on Frozen and Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Sections: 0.5-1 µg/ml for 30
minutes at RT.
No special pretreatment is required for staining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded
tissues.
Recommended Positive Control: Normal pituitary gland or pituitary tumor.
Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should
be determined by the user.
Molecular Weight:
5 kDa ( ACTH), ~30 kDa (POMC precursor). The Molecular Weight of POMC may vary
depending on isoform variation and post-translational modifications.
Specificity:
ACTH (same as Corticotropin) is a 39 amino acid active peptide produced by the anterior
pituitary.
This Monoclonal Antibody is specific to Synacthen (aa1-24 of ACTH); does not react with
CLIP (aa17-39 of ACTH). POMC (pro-opiomelanocortin or corticotropin-lipotropin) is a 267
amino acid polypeptide hormone precursor that goes through extensive, tissue-specific
pos ttranslational processing by convertases. POMC is cleaved into ten hormone chains
named NPP, ACTH, alpha-MSH (Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone), beta-MSH, gammaMSH, CLIP (corticotropin-like intermediary peptide), Lipotropin-beta, Lipotropin-gamma,
beta-endorphin and Met-enkephalin. ACTH is a lso produced by cells of immune system (Tcells, B-cells, and macrophages) in response to stimuli associated with stress. Anti-ACTH is
a useful marker in classification of pituitary tumors and the study of pituitary disease. It
reacts with ACTH-producing cells (corticotrophs). It also may react w ith other tumors (e.g.
some small cell carcinomas of the lung) causing paraneoplastic syndromes by se creting
ACTH.
Cellular Localization: Cytoplasmic.
Species Reactivity: Tested: Human. Rat.
Expected from sequence similarity: Broad.
Storage:
Store undiluted at 2-8°C.
