Cat. No.: HY-P0093 Purity: 99.26%
COA Handling Instructions

Sincalide (Cholecystokinin octapeptide, CCK‐8) is a rapid-acting amino acid polypeptide hormone analogue of cholecystokinin (CCK) for intravenous use in postevacuation cholecystography. CCK‐8 is a major bioactive segment of CCK that retains most of the biological activities of CCK. CCK‐8 can promote gallbladder contraction by injection and helps diagnose gallbladder and pancreas disorders. CCK‐8 can increase bile secretion, cause the gallbladder to contract and relax the sphincter of Oddi, resulting in bile drainage into the duodenum. CCK‐8 is a major bioactive segment of CCK that retains most of the biological activities of CCK.

In Vitro

Sincalide (Cholecystokinin octapeptide, CCK‐8), as a novel cardiovascular hormone, has a significant inhibitory effect on myocardial fibrosis in noninfarcted areas. CCK‐8 also plays a positive role in fighting inflammation, apoptosis and collagen deposition. CCK‐8 protects H9c2 cardiomyoblasts from Ang II‐induced apoptosis partly via activation of the CCK1 receptor and the phosphatidyqinositol‐3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway[3].

RT-PCR[3]

Cell Line: H9c2 cells
Concentration: 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, or 100 μmol/L
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Increased the protein and mRNA expression levels of CCK and decreased CCK 1 receptor expression levels at both the protein and mRNA levels with Ang II stimulation markedly.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
