Bioactivity | a-Helical Corticotropin Releasing Factor (12-41) is a 30 amino acids long, α-helical analogue of corticotropin releasing factor/hormone. Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) is a hypothalamic hormone, which stimulates the secretion of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). a-Helical Corticotropin Releasing Factor (12-41) would suppress the stimulatory effect[1][2]. |
Invitro | a-Helical Corticotropin Releasing Factor (0.3 nM; 5-min pulses every 40 min alternately) shows the inhibitory effect on stimulated release of immunoreactive ACTH from perifused equine anterior pituitary cells in vitro.[2]. a-Helical Corticotropin Releasing Factor (0.5-5 μM) suppresses CRH-induced ACTH secretion[2]. |
