| Application: | Peptide calibration standard for MALDI-MS instruments; 1 vial contains 10 nmols. ProteoMass™ ACTH fragment 18-39 MALDI-MS standard has been used as a peptide calibration standard for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-mass spectrometry (MS) instruments. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the synthesis and release of glucocorticoids and androgens through cAMP-dependent by a G-protein coupled receptor in adrenal gland. Overproduction of ACTH leads to marked skin pigmentation. |
| General description: | The single peptide or protein standard is used to calibrate and test matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometers. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is synthesized from its precursor pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC). It is released from anterior pituitary gland in response to corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) from hypothalamus. |
