- Hypothalamic–pituitary axis feedback modeling
- Metabolic and glucose-homeostasis research
Mechanism of action
Cortistatin 29 sits within the Endocrine research class (CPC reference CORT-001). Endocrine peptides bind class A/B GPCRs and RTKs on hormone-responsive tissues, triggering canonical cAMP, IP₃/Ca²⁺, and MAPK pathways that regulate secretion, growth, and metabolism. Investigators typically incorporate Cortistatin 29 as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. HTRF cAMP, calcium mobilization (FLIPR), and radioligand binding are the standard readouts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Cortistatin 29?
Cortistatin 29 (CPC catalog code CORT-001) is a synthetic endocrine research peptide in the endocrine category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.
What is Cortistatin 29 studied for?
Published and internal research programs use Cortistatin 29 as a reference standard in endocrine workflows — for example, receptor-binding and functional selectivity studies and second-messenger (camp / ip₁) profiling. Human clinical evidence is not established.
Is Cortistatin 29 FDA-approved for human use?
No. Cortistatin 29 is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.
How is Cortistatin 29 typically used in the lab?
In a endocrine workflow, Cortistatin 29 is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. HTRF cAMP, calcium mobilization (FLIPR), and radioligand binding are the standard readouts.
How should Cortistatin 29 be stored?
Store lyophilized at −20 °C, protected from light. Reconstitute in sterile 0.1% BSA/PBS. Follow your institution's standard operating procedures for handling synthetic peptides.
Where does the Cortistatin 29 product page point to?
This kindr reference page mirrors CPC Scientific's catalog metadata for CORT-001. The upstream reference sheet — including sequence, purity, MW, and application notes where published — is linked from the buy panel. All orders placed on kindr Peptides ship internationally under research-use terms only.
What quality specifications apply to Cortistatin 29?
Research-grade peptides in the CPC catalog are synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), purified by preparative RP-HPLC, and characterized by analytical HPLC and mass spectrometry. Typical purity is ≥95%; certificate of analysis is available on request.
