ACTH (1-39) adrenocorticotropic hormone

Basic Description

Structure and function:
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH(1-39)) is a polypeptide hormone composed of 39 amino acids.
Its main effect is to stimulate the adrenal cortex to secrete cortisol and other steroid hormones.
ACTH(1-39) is also involved in regulating the immune system and stress response.
In vitro and in vivo studies:
In in vitro experiments, ACTH(1-39) can significantly stimulate the function of adrenal cortical cells.
In vivo, ACTH(1-39) can effectively increase plasma cortisol levels.
In clinical applications, ACTH (1-39) is used to diagnose adrenal cortex dysfunction.
