Bioactivity | (p-Iodo-Phe7)-ACTH (4-10) is a adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) derivative, which is produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. (p-Iodo-Phe7)-ACTH (4-10) serves as a melanocortin (MC) receptor antagonist and inhibits α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH)-induced excessive grooming behavior in rats[1]. |
Invitro | (p-Iodo-Phe7)-ACTH (4-10) (1 μM) exhibits inhibition of α-MSH-induced (1 nM-1 μM) cAMP accumulation in 293 HEK cells expressing either the rat melanocortin MC3, human melanocortin MC4 or ovine melanocortin MC5 receptor[1].[Phe-I7]ACTH(4-10) has higher affinity for the MC3, MC4, and MC5 receptors but lower for the MC1 compared to ACTH(4-10)[2]. |
