Secretin, rat – 1 mg

Overview

Secretin is a fascinating 27-amino acid gastrointestinal peptide hormone, primarily found in rats. It plays a crucial role in a variety of regulatory processes involving the pancreas, biliary tree, stomach, nerves, and kidneys. The evolutionary conservation of Secretin highlights its significance in biological systems, making it a valuable component for various research applications. Notably, rat secretin differs from its porcine counterpart through a single glutamine-for-arginine substitution at position 14, underscoring the importance of specificity in peptide studies.
