ACTH in endocrine research
ACTH acts mainly through the melanocortin-2 receptor (MC2R) on adrenal cortex cells, driving the production of glucocorticoids. ACTH 1-39 is a standard reagent in adrenal cell steroidogenesis assays and in studies of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis. As a research reagent it is supplied only for laboratory use.
