Molecule Details
Research Area: Endocrinology
Biological Activity:
Pentagastrin is a synthetic polypeptide that has effects like gastrin when given parenterally. [1] It stimulates the secretion of gastric acid, pepsin, and intrinsic factor and has been used as a diagnostic aid as the pentagastrin-stimulated calcitonin test. Pentagastrin binds to the cholecystokinin-B receptor, which is expressed widely in the brain. Activation of these receptors activates the phospholipase C second messenger system. When given intravenously it causes panic attacks. [1]
