Anti-POMC / ACTH / N-Terminal, clone 57

1 mg/ml in 1X PBS, BSA free, sodium azide free. 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 and Met-enkephalin. Protein function: [Corticotropin]: Stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. [The UniProt Consortium]
