What Ghrelin, rat (n-octanoyl) is studied for
- Incretin (GLP-1 / GIP) receptor signaling
- Appetite and satiety-circuit research
- Gastric motility and emptying assays
- Gut–brain axis and vagal signaling models
Mechanism of action
Ghrelin, rat (n-octanoyl) sits within the GI / Gut research class (CPC reference GHRE-003). Gut peptides engage GPCRs on enteroendocrine cells, vagal afferents, and central nuclei, modulating motility, secretion, satiety, and glucose-dependent insulin release. Investigators typically incorporate Ghrelin, rat (n-octanoyl) as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. cAMP HTRF, in vitro islet insulin secretion, and food-intake models in rodents.
Frequently asked questions
What is Ghrelin, rat (n-octanoyl)?
Ghrelin, rat (n-octanoyl) (CPC catalog code GHRE-003) is a synthetic gastrointestinal / gut-hormone peptide in the gi / gut category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.
What is Ghrelin, rat (n-octanoyl) studied for?
Published and internal research programs use Ghrelin, rat (n-octanoyl) as a reference standard in gi / gut workflows — for example, incretin (glp-1 / gip) receptor signaling and appetite and satiety-circuit research. Human clinical evidence is not established.
Is Ghrelin, rat (n-octanoyl) FDA-approved for human use?
No. Ghrelin, rat (n-octanoyl) 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 Ghrelin, rat (n-octanoyl) typically used in the lab?
In a gi / gut workflow, Ghrelin, rat (n-octanoyl) is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. cAMP HTRF, in vitro islet insulin secretion, and food-intake models in rodents.
How should Ghrelin, rat (n-octanoyl) be stored?
Store lyophilized at −20 °C. Reconstitute in acidified water (0.1% acetic acid) for stability. Follow your institution's standard operating procedures for handling synthetic peptides.
Where does the Ghrelin, rat (n-octanoyl) product page point to?
This kindr reference page mirrors CPC Scientific's catalog metadata for GHRE-003. 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 Ghrelin, rat (n-octanoyl)?
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.
