pep-ACT
ACTH 1-39 is the full-length, 39-amino acid form of adrenocorticotropic hormone, a melanocortin peptide characterized in the literature as engaging melanocortin receptor 4 on glial and neuronal populations in addition to its classical adrenal receptor. Lisak et al. (Experimental Neurology, 2015; PMID 26300474) reported that ACTH 1-39 protected isolated rat forebrain neurons from apoptotic and excitotoxic insults in vitro. For Research Use Only. Not for human consumption.

Description
ACTH 1-39 is the complete, biologically active form of adrenocorticotropic hormone, a 39-amino acid peptide member of the melanocortin family. It has been characterized in the literature as engaging melanocortin receptor subtypes across multiple tissue systems, including the adrenal cortex and the central nervous system. The way a single master key can open more than one type of lock, ACTH 1-39 is described in research as acting on melanocortin receptor 2 in adrenal tissue and melanocortin receptor 4 in glial and neuronal populations.
Lisak et al. (Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2016; PMID 26944112) documented that ACTH 1-39 protected oligodendrocytes in mixed glial cultures from excitotoxic, oxidative, and inflammation-related injury, and found that conditioned medium from ACTH-treated astroglia carried a similar protective effect. Lisak et al. (Experimental Neurology, 2015; PMID 26300474) reported that ACTH 1-39 protected isolated rat forebrain neurons in vitro from apoptotic, excitotoxic, and inflammation-related insults across a panel of toxic agents. Phillips et al. (Journal of Physiology, 1996; PMID 8815218) investigated circulating ACTH(1-39) in the fetal sheep model, documenting its association with adrenal growth and steroidogenic enzyme expression following surgical disconnection of the hypothalamus and pituitary.

Specifications
Lab reports
We independently test selected batches and publish those reports. Not every batch has one, and this strength and origin does not have a published report right now. You can read how certificates of analysis work, or browse every report we have published.
Shipping & Storage
Shipping
Orders ship within 24 hours. Delivered via USPS Priority or standard FedEx unless expedited shipping is selected at checkout. Tracking is emailed on dispatch and mirrored in your account.
In-transit handling
Lyophilized vials are shelf-stable and ship at ambient temperature. Storage in our warehouse is cooled; shipment does not require refrigeration.
Long-term storage
Lyophilized vials are shelf-stable at ambient temperature; refrigeration (2–8°C) extends shelf life. Where a published Certificate of Analysis exists for your strength and origin, it is on the COA tab. Not for human or animal consumption.
Returns
Because these are research-grade biologics, we cannot accept returns on opened vials. Damaged-in-transit shipments are replaced at no cost within 7 days of delivery.
Frequently asked
We independently test selected batches at a third-party lab and publish those certificates of analysis. Not every batch has one. The COA tab on each product shows whether the strength and origin you picked has a published report.
