Description

Tetragastrin (Cholecystokinin tetrapeptide; CCK-4) is the C-terminal tetrapeptide of gastrin. Tetragastrin can stimulate gastric secretion[1]. Tetragastrin is a Cholecystokinin (CCK-4) receptor agonist[2]. Gastric mucosal protection[3].

In Vitro

The antagonist of histamine H2-receptors, Cimetidine inhibits the stimulatory effect of histamine in vitro and activates Tetragastrin stimulation of the adenylate cyclase activity. Tetragastrin and histamine activate adenylate cyclase of the rat gastric mucosa via different receptors[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

In inbred Wistar rats treated with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, Tetragastrin (s.c.; 1 mg/kg; every other day) treatment significantly reduces the incidence and the number of adenocarcinomas, and has a significantly lower labelling index of the antral mucosa[1].
Tetragastrin has potential for enhancing gastric mucosal protection associated with mucus secretion and/or mucus synthesis on the surface mucosa of rat gastric mucosa. A significant increase in the mucin content was noted in the mucus gel and surface mucosal layer. An increase in mucin in the mucus gel and surface mucosa would thus appear due to the administration of Tetragastrin[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Seven-week-old male Wistar rats, each weighing approximately 160 g[3]
Dosage: 12, 120, or 400 μg/kg
Administration: Administered subcutaneously (s.c.); followed by 50% ethanol-induced gastric injury
Result: Caused a significant increase in mucin content in the corpus mucosa and prevented 50% ethanol-induced gastric mucosal damage in a dose-dependent manner.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.19 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.19 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
