Goat Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) ELISA Kit

ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) is a 39-residue peptide secreted by the anterior pituitary that stimulates adrenal glucocorticoid synthesis, making it a central biomarker for stress response and HPA-axis activity. In caprine research, ACTH measurements support studies on seasonal breeding, metabolic adaptation, and welfare assessment.

This Assay Genie kit employs a competitive immunoassay design with HRP-TMB detection, providing quantitative hormone concentration values across a working range. The supplied microplate is pre-coated, and the protocol accommodates serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and cell lysates, giving flexibility across in vivo and in vitro experimental designs. Typical run time is around 2.5 hours, with an incubation step at 37 °C. Capture antibody specificity limits cross-reactivity with related peptides to below 1%, supporting accurate quantification of intact ACTH in small ruminant samples.
