Specifications(COA) of Pentagastrin CAS 5534-95-2

Pentagastrin is a synthetic peptide that mimics the action of gastrin, a naturally occurring hormone in the body. Its primary application is in medical diagnostics, particularly in the evaluation of stomach function and the diagnosis of certain conditions. Here are the main uses:

1. Gastric Acid Secretion Test: Pentagastrin is used to stimulate the stomach to produce gastric acid. By administering pentagastrin and measuring the amount of acid secreted, physicians can assess how well the stomach's parietal cells are functioning. This test helps diagnose conditions like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (a condition characterized by excessive gastric acid secretion) and achlorhydria (absence of stomach acid).

2. Stimulation Test for Carcinoid Tumors: In some cases, pentagastrin is used to provoke the release of serotonin from carcinoid tumors (which are neuroendocrine tumors that can secrete serotonin). The response helps in diagnosing and monitoring these tumors.

3. Evaluation of Gastrinomas: Gastrinomas are tumors that produce excess gastrin, leading to increased gastric acid secretion. Pentagastrin testing can help diagnose these tumors by observing how they respond to the peptide.

Pentagastrin is typically administered by injection under the supervision of a healthcare provider during these diagnostic tests.
