| Application: | Caerulein has been used to induce pancreatitis in Sprague-Dawley rats, mice and other experimental animals. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Caerulein is a gastro regulatory molecule with actions similar to cholecystokinin. It possesses a tyrosine sulfate residue and induces smooth muscle contraction. It has gastrin-like activity. Caerulein is used to study cell signaling mediated by NF-κB upregulation of proteins such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) and inflammation related molecules, such as NADPH oxidase and Janus kinase signal transducer. Caerulein also regulates thermoregulation, sedation and satiety. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Effects on perception of pain are conflicting. It prevents gall bladder pain, renal colic, and the pain of intermittent claudication; however, in general, it is seen as an antagonist of endogenous opioids. |
