Mouse Adrenocorticotropic Hormone PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS0033)

Built around a competitive immunoassay workflow from Assay Genie, this mouse Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) kit quantifies a 39-amino-acid anterior pituitary peptide that drives adrenal corticosteroid output and sits at the apex of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Researchers tracking stress biology, circadian corticosterone rhythms, chronic stress models, depression research, and pituitary-adrenal feedback in mouse models can use the kit to measure endogenous ACTH alongside downstream glucocorticoid readouts.

The competitive binding format is well suited to small peptide analytes such as ACTH, where a fixed amount of labelled antigen competes with the endogenous hormone in the sample for binding sites, producing an inverse relationship between signal intensity and analyte concentration. The kit is configured for 96 assays and is validated for use with both serum and cell culture supernatant sample matrices, supporting in vivo and in vitro study designs in endocrinology and behavioural neuroscience laboratories.

Intended for research use only, the 96 assays format fits standard microplate workflows and integrates into hormone profiling pipelines in physiology and neuroendocrine laboratories. The mouse-specific reactivity of the assay keeps detection focused on the endogenous murine peptide rather than cross-reactive heterologous hormones, which is valuable when profiling pituitary output in transgenic or knock-out mouse lines.
