ELISA kit for detection of ACTH in the research laboratory Background: Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), also known as 'corticotrophin', 'Adrenocorticotrophi
c hormone', is a polypeptide tropic hormone produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. It is an important component of the hypothalamic-pituita
ry-adrenal axis and is often produced in response to biological stress (along with corticotropin-releas
ing hormone from the hypothalamus). Its principal effects are increased production and release of corticosteroids and, as its name suggests, cortisol from the adrenal cortex.
