1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

CCK₂ Receptor Activation: Binds to the cholecystokinin-2 (CCK₂) receptor (rat-specific, Ki: 0.1–1 nM), triggering Gq/11 protein-coupled signaling cascades.

Gastric Acid Secretion: Stimulates enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the stomach to release histamine, which induces gastrin secretion from G cells, ultimately increasing gastric acid production.

Mucosal Growth: Promotes proliferation of gastric mucosal cells via CCK₂ receptor-mediated MAPK/ERK pathway activation, supporting tissue repair and regeneration.

2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

Gastrointestinal Research: Studying gastric acid regulation, peptic ulcer disease, and gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) in rat models.

Pharmacology Studies: Evaluating CCK₂ receptor antagonists (e.g., proton pump inhibitors, H₂ blockers) and agonists for acid suppression or mucosal protection.

Preclinical Drug Development: Testing the efficacy and safety of anti-ulcer drugs, gastric stimulants, or CCK₂-targeted therapies in rat models.

3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

Preclinical Validation:

Increases gastric acid output by 50–70% in pylorus-ligated rat models (ED₅₀: 0.3 nM).

Stimulates gastrin release from isolated rat G cells by 4–6x (concentration: 1 nM).

Promotes gastric mucosal cell proliferation (2–3x increase in BrdU incorporation) in rat explant cultures.

Therapeutic Relevance: CCK₂ receptor antagonists derived from Gastrin-1, rat are in clinical trials for acid-related disorders, with this peptide serving as a key reference standard.
