ACTH (7-38) (human)

Description:

ACTH (7-38) (human), also known as adrenocorticotropic hormone fragment, is a peptide derived from the larger pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) precursor. This specific fragment consists of 32 amino acids, representing a portion of the full-length ACTH molecule, which plays a crucial role in stimulating the adrenal cortex to produce cortisol and other glucocorticoids. The CAS number 68563-24-6 identifies this particular peptide in chemical databases. Characteristically, ACTH (7-38) exhibits biological activity related to stress response and metabolism regulation. It is soluble in water and exhibits stability under physiological conditions, making it suitable for various research applications, including studies on adrenal function and peptide hormone interactions. The fragment's structure allows it to bind to melanocortin receptors, influencing various physiological processes. As a synthetic or naturally occurring peptide, it is often utilized in pharmacological research and therapeutic contexts, particularly in understanding adrenal disorders and developing potential treatments.

ACTH is a hormone that is produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It stimulates the release of cortisol from the adrenal cortex. ACTH (7-38) has been shown to have cytosolic Ca2+ channel-blocking and antimicrobial activities, as well as an effect on defensin production in human neutrophils. ACTH (7-38) also has been shown to inhibit cytokine production in rat astrocytes, and to stimulate prostaglandin synthesis in mouse fibroblasts. This peptide also has been shown to have physiological effects on bowel disease and inflammatory bowel disease.
