- Product Overview:
ACTH (1-13) is a peptide fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH; Item No. 24257), a peptide hormone found in the brain that is involved in the biological stress response.{45140} An acetylated form of ACTH (1-13), ?-melanocyte stimulating hormone (?-MSH), is formed in the intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland by cleavage of ACTH (1-39), as well as in keratinocytes, astrocytes, monocytes, and gastrointestinal cells.{45140,47500} ACTH (1-13) is an agonist of melanocortin receptor 3 (MC3R) and MC4R, inducing cAMP production in vitro with EC50 values of 0.18 and 19 nM, respectively, which is similar in potency to that of ?-MSH.{45139} It induces differentiation of melanocytes when used at concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 1,000 nM.{48426} ACTH (1-13) (40 and 400 pmol, i.c.v.) decreases food intake in broiler chicks.{47501}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
