| Targets |
ACTH (18-39) targets melanocortin receptors and other receptors involved in adrenal cortex function regulation. As a corticotropin-like intermediate lobe peptide, it interacts with melanocortin receptors in the adrenal cortex. Its precise receptor binding profile and functional activity are subjects of ongoing research.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, ACTH (18-39) is used in research settings to explore its role in the regulation of adrenal cortex function and its interaction with specific receptors. It binds to melanocortin receptors and may modulate steroidogenesis. Its activity is characteristic of corticotropin-like peptides.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data for ACTH (18-39) are limited. As a peptide fragment of ACTH, it may have biological activity related to adrenal cortex function. It is produced endogenously in the pituitary gland. Further in vivo studies are needed to fully characterize its physiological role.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro receptor binding assays for ACTH (18-39) are conducted using cells expressing melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC2R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R). Radioligand binding assays with [¹²⁵I]-ACTH or [¹²⁵I]-NDP-MSH are used to assess receptor binding affinity. Functional activity is measured by cAMP accumulation assays.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for ACTH (18-39) are performed using adrenal cortex cell lines or primary adrenocortical cells. Cells are treated with peptide concentrations ranging from 0.1 nM to 10 µM for 1-24 hours. Steroid hormone production (e.g., cortisol, corticosterone) is measured by ELISA or radioimmunoassay. cAMP levels are measured to assess receptor activation.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for ACTH (18-39) are limited. Studies would typically involve administration of the peptide to rodents followed by assessment of adrenal function, including corticosteroid levels and adrenal gland weight. The peptide is not widely used in animal models.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for ACTH (18-39) are limited. As a peptide, it is expected to have a short half-life due to rapid proteolytic degradation. It is not administered as a therapeutic agent.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
ACTH (18-39) is a peptide and does not have established toxicity data. It is designated for research use only. Standard laboratory safety precautions apply.
|
| Additional Infomation |
ACTH (18-39), human TFA (CLIP human TFA) is a corticotropin-like intermediate lobe peptide produced in the melanotrophs of the pituitary gland. It is used in research to study adrenal cortex function and melanocortin receptor signaling. It is not a drug and has no clinical approval.
