Canine Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) ELISA Kit

A quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie, this competitive ELISA kit measures canine adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in research specimens. ACTH is a 39-amino acid anterior pituitary peptide that drives cortisol secretion through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and circulating concentrations are central to evaluating canine hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing's disease), hypoadrenocorticism (Addison's disease), and pituitary-adrenal feedback in veterinary endocrinology studies.

The competitive-binding format immobilizes ACTH antigen on a microplate and uses an enzyme-labeled antibody with a chromogenic substrate, producing an absorbance signal that decreases as sample ACTH concentration rises. Each kit contains reagents sufficient for 96 assays and is intended for research use only, supporting both clinical veterinary investigations and laboratory studies of canine adrenal physiology.
