Rat Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) ELISA Kit

ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide hormone secreted by anterior pituitary corticotrophs that drives glucocorticoid synthesis through the HPA axis, making it a key biomarker in rat stress and endocrinology research. This Assay Genie competitive immunoassay uses an antibody-coated microplate to capture ACTH from liquid biological specimens, with results quantified against a standard curve.

Researchers investigating circadian rhythm, chronic stress models, adrenalectomy effects, or glucocorticoid feedback use this microplate-format assay to quantify pituitary ACTH output across experimental cohorts.

All reagents should be refrigerated upon arrival, aliquoted to limit freeze-thaw cycles, and protected from light to preserve antibody binding activity. The product is supplied strictly for research use only and is not intended for clinical diagnostic applications.
