Pentagastrin

Product Overview

Pentagastrin is a synthetic pentapeptide analog of gastrin, widely recognized for its role in clinical diagnostics and biomedical research. With a molecular formula of C37H49N7O9S and a molecular weight of 767.891 g/mol, this high-purity compound appears as a white to off-white powder and meets stringent quality standards with an assay of ≥98.0%. It is primarily employed in controlled medical testing environments to stimulate the secretion of gastric acid and certain hormones, including calcitonin and serotonin.

Industrial Applications

Pentagastrin serves as a critical tool in endocrinological diagnostics, particularly in the pentagastrin-stimulated calcitonin test used to evaluate medullary thyroid carcinoma. Additionally, it functions as a pharmacological stimulant to assess the secretory capacity of various gastrointestinal and neuroendocrine pathways. Its use is strictly confined to regulated clinical and research settings under professional supervision.

• Validated for diagnostic hormone stimulation protocols
• High chemical purity ensures reproducible assay results
• Compliant with international standards for research-grade peptides
• Suitable for integration into advanced endocrine function studies

Stored in a cool, well-ventilated area and typically packaged in 25 kg drums (custom packaging available upon request), Pentagastrin is supplied exclusively for legitimate scientific and diagnostic purposes by certified global manufacturers.
