Corticotropin

Description:

Corticotropin, also known as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), is a peptide hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in the regulation of cortisol production from the adrenal cortex, influencing various physiological processes, including stress response, metabolism, and immune function. Corticotropin is composed of a sequence of amino acids, typically consisting of 39 residues, and its structure is essential for its biological activity. The CAS number 9002-60-2 refers to a specific form of this hormone, often used in research and clinical settings. Corticotropin is administered therapeutically to diagnose and treat conditions related to adrenal insufficiency and to stimulate cortisol production in certain medical scenarios. Its effects are mediated through specific receptors, leading to a cascade of biochemical events that ultimately result in increased cortisol levels. Additionally, corticotropin has been studied for its potential roles in various disorders, including autoimmune diseases and certain types of cancer, highlighting its significance in both endocrinology and therapeutic applications.

Corticotropin

CAS: 9002-60-2

Corticotropin is a peptide hormone that is produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland in response to stress or injury. It is used as an immunosuppressant and anti-inflammatory agent. Corticotropin binds to corticotropin receptors on cells, which triggers a series of reactions that lead to inflammation and cell death. Corticotropin has been shown to inhibit ion channels, such as voltage-gated sodium channels and calcium channels, which are responsible for signaling the release of neurotransmitters. Corticotropin also inhibits ligand-gated ion channels, such as NMDA receptors and GABA receptors, which regulate neuronal excitability.
