Gastrin Releasing Peptide, human

Overview

Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) is a crucial 27-amino acid peptide isolated from the human gastrointestinal tract. It stimulates the release of gastrin, a hormone that aids in digestion, and shares a common C-terminal decapeptide homology with bombesin. This peptide plays an important role as a growth-modulating factor in the development of lung epithelium and is significant in medical diagnostics, particularly as a tumor marker for small-cell lung carcinoma.

Key Features

• Stimulates gastrin release, enhancing digestive processes.
• Essential in diagnosing small-cell lung carcinoma due to production by cancer cells.
• Contributes to lung epithelium growth modulation.
• Available in high purity for reliable experimental results.
• Compatible with various peptide labeling techniques.
