Alternative Names: ACTH EIA Kit, Adrenocorticotropic Hormone ELISA kit, POMC ELISA kit, Proopiomelanocortin ELISA kit, CLIP ELISA kit, LPH ELISA kit, MSH ELISA kit, POC ELISA kit, Melanotropin ELISA kit, beta MSH ELISA kit, alpha Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone ELISA kit, Corticotropin-like intermediary peptide ELISA kit, met enkephalin ELISA kit, lipotropin ELISA kit, Adrenocorticotropin ELISA kit, alpha MSH ELISA kit

Application Details

Application Notes: The ACTH Immunoassay is a two-site ELISA for the measurement of the biologically active 39 amino acid chain of ACTH. A goat polyclonal antibody to human ACTH, purified by affinity chromatography, and a mouse monoclonal antibody to human ACTH are specific for well defined regions on the ACTH molecule. One antibody is prepared to bind only the C-terminal ACTH 34-39 and this antibody is biotinylated. The other antibody is prepared to bind only the mid-region and N-terminal ACTH 1-24 and this antibody is labeled with horseradish peroxidase for detection.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Precaution of Use: Although the reagents provided in this kit has been specifically designed to contain no human blood components, the human patient samples, which might be positive for HBsAg, HBcAg or HIV antibodies, must be treated as potentially infectious biohazard. Common precautions in handling should be exercised, as applied to any untested patient sample.

Storage: 4 °C

Target Details for ACTH

Target: ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH))

Alternative Name: ACTH (ACTH Products)

Target Type: Hormone

Background: Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), also known as 'corticotrophin', 'Adrenocorticotrophic hormone', is a polypeptide tropic hormone produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. It is an important component of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and is often produced in response to biological stress (along with corticotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus). Its principal effects are increased production and release of corticosteroids and, as its name suggests, cortisol from the adrenal cortex.
