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.

The optimal dilution of the ACTH / POMC antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher.

An N-terminal peptide (within AA 1-24) from the Synacthen/ACTH region of human POMC was used as the immunogen for this POMC antibody.

Store the POMC antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
