Specification
The molecular formula of Corticotropin is C207H308N56O58S.
The molecular weight of Corticotropin is 4541 g/mol.
Corticotropin is described as a polypeptide hormone produced and secreted by the pituitary gland comprising 39 amino acid residues coupled in a linear sequence.
Corticotropin stimulates the cortex of the adrenal gland and boosts the synthesis of corticosteroids, mainly glucocorticoids but also sex steroids (androgens).
Corticotropin is used in the treatment of certain neurological disorders such as infantile spasms and multiple sclerosis.
Recombinant Corticotropin is chemically identical to or similar to the human polypeptide hormone corticotropin (adrenocorticotropic hormone; ACTH).
Corticotropin is an important player in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, regulating the production of adrenal cortex hormones.
The IUPAC name of Corticotropin is a long chemical compound name described in a series of amino acid residues.
With normally functioning adrenal glands, recombinant Corticotropin could be used to achieve pharmacologic effects similar to those from cortisone administration by stimulating the adrenal cortex to secrete adrenocortical steroids.
The InChI of Corticotropin is a complex chemical formula representation that helps distinguish it structurally.
