Introduction Human Secretin stimulates the secretion of bicarbonate by the pancreas and inhibits the production of gastrin and acid production in the stomach. It also potentiates the release of digestive enzymes from the pancreas triggered by cholecystokinin.
Description Secretin has a molecular formula of C130H220N44O41 ,a.a. sequence of H-His-Ser-Asp-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Glu-Leu-Ser-Arg-Leu-Arg- Asp-Ser-Ala-Arg-Leu-Gln-Arg-Leu-Leu-Gln-Gly-Leu-Val-NH2 and having a Mw of 3055.4 Dalton.
Fields of Applications Diagnosis of pancreatic dysfunction Diagnosis of the presence of a gastrinoma Autism - not yet approved applications.
Physical Appearance Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation The protein (1 mg/ml) was lyophilized with no additives.
Solubility It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Secretin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability Lyophilized Secretin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Secretin should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
