What Urocortin, rat is studied for

  • Vascular reactivity in aortic ring and mesenteric bed preparations
  • Renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) mechanistic studies
  • Natriuretic and diuretic pathway characterization
  • Cardiac remodeling and hypertrophy models

Mechanism of action

Urocortin, rat sits within the Cardiovascular research class (CPC reference UROC-002). Cardiovascular peptides act on GPCRs and receptor systems in vascular smooth muscle, endothelium, and cardiac myocytes — modulating vasoconstriction, natriuresis, RAAS signaling, or ionotropic responses. Effects are typically measured in isolated vessel, Langendorff heart, or receptor-transfected cell assays.</ Investigators typically incorporate Urocortin, rat as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. Radioligand-binding, IP-1 / cAMP HTRF, and organ-bath tension recordings are the standard readouts.

Frequently asked questions

What is Urocortin, rat?

Urocortin, rat (CPC catalog code UROC-002) is a synthetic cardiovascular research peptide in the cardiovascular category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.

What is Urocortin, rat studied for?

Published and internal research programs use Urocortin, rat as a reference standard in cardiovascular workflows — for example, vascular reactivity in aortic ring and mesenteric bed preparations and renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (raas) mechanistic studies. Human clinical evidence is not established.

Is Urocortin, rat FDA-approved for human use?

No. Urocortin, rat 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 Urocortin, rat typically used in the lab?

In a cardiovascular workflow, Urocortin, rat is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. Radioligand-binding, IP-1 / cAMP HTRF, and organ-bath tension recordings are the standard readouts.

How should Urocortin, rat be stored?

Stable lyophilized at −20 °C for ≥24 months. Reconstitute in normal saline or PBS. Follow your institution's standard operating procedures for handling synthetic peptides.

Where does the Urocortin, rat product page point to?

This kindr reference page mirrors CPC Scientific's catalog metadata for UROC-002. 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 Urocortin, rat?

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.
