Description

N(Alpha)-Formyltetragastrin is a synthetic, chemically modified derivative of the gastrin peptide, designed for enhanced stability and specific research applications. This compound is a critical tool for investigating gastrointestinal physiology and hormone-receptor interactions in a controlled laboratory setting. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D teams, academic researchers, and biochemical suppliers focused on endocrinology and digestive system studies.

Application

• Biochemical Research: A key reagent for studying the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) peptides.
• Pharmacological Studies: Used in in vitro and in vivo models to investigate gastric acid secretion and mucosal growth mechanisms.
• Receptor Binding Assays: Serves as a ligand or competitor in assays targeting the cholecystokinin B (CCKB) / gastrin receptor.
• Peptide Chemistry Standard: Acts as a reference standard in analytical methods (HPLC, MS) for peptide purity and identity confirmation.
• Drug Discovery: Used in high-throughput screening (HTS) platforms to identify novel therapeutics for gastrointestinal disorders.
