Z-VEID-FMK is a synthetic peptide that irreversibly inhibits activity of VEID-dependent caspases (e.g., caspase-6). The inhibitor is designed as a methyl ester to facilitate cell permeability. Can be used for both in vitro and in vivo studies--see note for using this product in vitro.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), also known as corticotropin, is a cleavage product from a larger precursor proopiomelanocortin (POMC). This 39 amino acid-peptide hormone is produced in the anterior pituitary gland upon stimulation by the corticotropin releasing hormone from the hypothalamus in response to stress. It stimulates the secretion of steroid hormone, specifically glucocorticoids in the adrenal cortex by acting through a cell membrane receptor (ACTH-R). In mammals, the action of ACTH is limited to those areas of the adrenal cortex in which the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol (hydrocortisone) and corticosterone are formed. ACTH has little control over the secretion of aldosterone, the other major steroid hormone from the adrenal cortex.

The neuropeptide ACTH (adenocorticotropin; amino acids 1-39) is the natural cleavage product from POMC (proopimelanocortin) processing; however, the first 24-amino acid sequence from the carboxyl end, ACTH (1-24) has full biological activity of the (1-39) peptide. Both ACTH (1-24) and (1-39) possess neurotropic activity.

The peptide, corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) was first isolated in the mammalian brain that regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis. It also plays a key role in modulating the endocrine, autonomic, and behavioral responses to stress and cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and immune activities.
