Adrenocorticotropic hormone acth

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, Switzerland

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is a peptide hormone produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Its primary function is to stimulate the adrenal cortex to produce and release corticosteroid hormones, including cortisol, which play a crucial role in the body's stress response and metabolic processes.

Teratoma Formation and cAMP Assay in iPSC Research

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The iPSCs cells (1 3 10 6 cells in 20-mL PBS) were injected into the testis of 8-to 10-week-old male CB17 SCID mice (Charles River). Teratomas were resected 9-12 weeks after injection, fixed with 10% neutralbuffered formalin for 24 h, and paraffin-embedded sections (4 mm) were processed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. All mouse studies were carried out according to protocols approved by the Animal Research Committee of Tokyo Dental College (No. 270401).
cAMP assay cAMP accumulation was measured using homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) cAMP dynamic kits (CisBio, Codolet, France) according to the manufacturer's protocol. iPSCs were cultured in 96-well plates (20,000 cells/well) and treated with parathyroid hormone (PTH) (100 nM; Sigma-Aldrich, Buchs, Switzerland) 24 or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (10 nM; Sigma-Aldrich, Buchs, Switzerland) 25 along with 500-nM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX; Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA). At each time point, the cells were lysed with 1% Triton X-100. cAMP accumulation was detected by HTRF (l ex = 330 nm, l em = 665 and 620 nm) using a microplate reader (Synergy, BioTek, Winooski, VT, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
