Entry terms

  • 1-24-ACTH
  • 1-24-Corticotropin
  • ACTH (1-24)
  • ACTH 1-24
  • ACTH, Synthetic
  • Corticotropin (1-24)-Peptide
  • Corticotropin (1-24)-Tetracosapeptide
  • Synthetic ACTH
  • Tetracosactide
  • Tetracosactrin
  • Tetracosapeptide

Scope note

  • A synthetic peptide that is identical to the 24-amino acid segment at the N-terminal of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE. ACTH (1-24), a segment similar in all species, contains the biological activity that stimulates production of CORTICOSTEROIDS in the ADRENAL CORTEX.

History note

  • 88(75); was see under ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE 1987; was see under CORTICOTROPIN 1974-86
