Research Summary
Widely used in endocrine diagnostics and as a model ACTH peptide.
Related Peptides
ACTH
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (Corticotropin)
A 39-amino-acid melanocortin peptide derived from POMC with documented melanogenic activity. In skin biology, ACTH is a classic signal for melanocyte stimulation and hyperpigmentation research.
Skin & CosmeticPTH(1-34)
Teriparatide
Bioactive N-terminal parathyroid hormone fragment used to stimulate bone formation in osteoporosis.
Peptide Hormoneslypressin
Lysine vasopressin
Vasopressin analog differing at position 8; retains antidiuretic peptide hormone activity.
Peptide HormonesGnRH
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone
Hypothalamic decapeptide that triggers pituitary LH and FSH release through the GnRHR. It is the master upstream signal for reproductive axis activation and a classic endocrine releasing hormone.
