MSH: An octapeptide hormone present in the intestine and brain. When secreted from the gastric mucosa, it stimulates the release of bile from the gallbladder and digestive enzymes from the pancreas.,NCI: A synthetic C-terminal octapeptide identical to the sequences of the endogenous cholecystokinin hormone. Mimic action of cholecystokinin, sincalide induces gallbladder smooth muscle contraction directly, thereby reducing gallbladder size, inducing bile evacuation, and secretion of pancreatic enzymes. In addition, this agent decreases esophageal sphincter tone and delays gastric emptying via cholinergic signaling.
