Usage & Assay Information
| Usage Recommendations | 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. |

General Information
| Biological Significance | 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. |
