ACTH Previously Observed Antibody Staining Patterns
Observed Antibody Staining Data By Tissue Type:
Variations in ACTH antibody staining intensity in immunohistochemistry on tissue sections are present across different anatomical locations. An intense signal was observed in cells in the anterior in pituitary gland. More moderate antibody staining intensity was present in cells in the anterior in pituitary gland. Low, but measureable presence of ACTH could be seen in. We were unable to detect ACTH in other tissues. Disease states, inflammation, and other physiological changes can have a substantial impact on antibody staining patterns. These measurements were all taken in tissues deemed normal or from patients without known disease.

| General Description of ACTH. | |
| ACTH (same as Corticotropin) is a 39 amino acid active peptide produced by the anterior pituitary. This MAb is specific to Synacthen (aa1-24 of ACTH); does not react with CLIP (aa17-39 of ACTH). POMC (pro-opiomelanocortin or corticotropin-lipotropin) is a 267 amino acid polypeptide hormone precursor that goes through extensive, tissue-specific posttranslational processing by convertases. POMC is cleaved into ten hormone chains named NPP, ACTH, alpha-MSH (Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone), beta-MSH, gamma-MSH, CLIP (corticotropin-like intermediary peptide), Lipotropin-beta, Lipotropin-gamma, beta-endorphin, Met-enkephalin. ACTH is also produced by cells of immune system (T-cells, B-cells,, macrophages) in response to stimuli associated with stress. Anti-ACTH is a useful marker in classification of pituitary tumors, the study of pituitary disease. It reacts with ACTH-producing cells (corticotrophs).It also may react with other tumors (e.g. some small cell carcinomas of the lung) causing paraneoplastic syndromes by secreting ACTH. | |
