| Specificity and cross-reactivity | ACTH, ACTH is also produced by cells of immune system (T-cells, Anti-ACTH is a useful marker in classification of pituitary tumors and the study of pituitary disease, B-cells, CLIP (corticotropin-like intermediary peptide), It also may react with other tumors (e, It reacts with ACTH-producing cells (corticotrophs), Lipotropin-beta, Lipotropin-gamma, POMC (pro-opiomelanocortin or corticotropin-lipotropin) is a 267 amino acid polypeptide hormone precursor that goes through extensive, POMC is cleaved into ten hormone chains named NPP, Since it is not possible to test each and every species our knowledge on the corss reactivity of the antibodies is limited, This MAb is specific to Synacthen (aa1-24 of ACTH), This particular antibody might cross react with speacies outside of the listed ones, alpha-MSH (Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone), and macrophages) in response to stimuli associated with stress, beta-MSH, beta-endorphin and Met-enkephalin, does not react with CLIP (aa17-39 of ACTH), gamma-MSH, some small cell carcinomas of the lung) causing paraneoplastic syndromes by secreting ACTH, tissue-specific posttranslational processing by convertases, ACTH (same as Corticotropin) is a 39 amino acid active peptide produced by the anterior pituitary, g |
