'''Ceruletide''' (or '''Caerulein''') is a specific decapeptide obtained from the skin of ''Litoria caerulea'', an Australian amphibian. Caerulein is similar in action and composition to ]. It stimulates gastric, biliary, and pancreatic secretion; and certain smooth muscle. It is used in paralytic ileus and as diagnostic aid in pancreatic malfunction. '''Ceruletide''' (]), also known as '''cerulein''' or '''caerulein''', is a ten amino acid ] that stimulates ] and increases digestive secretions. Ceruletide is similar in action and composition to ]. It stimulates gastric, biliary, and pancreatic secretion; and certain smooth muscle. It is used in paralytic ileus and as diagnostic aid in pancreatic malfunction. It is used to induce ] in experimental animal models.

]
Ceruletide was discovered and its structure elucidated in 1967 by Australian and Italian scientists from dried skins of the ] (''Ranoidea caerulea'', formerly ''Hyla caerulea''). Its amino acid sequence is Pglu-Gln-Asp-Tyr-Thr-Gly-Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH<sub>2</sub>.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Anastasi A, Erspamer V, Endean R | title = Isolation and structure of caerulein, an active decapeptide from the skin of Hyla caerulea | journal = Experientia | volume = 23 | issue = 9 | pages = 699–700 | date = September 1967 | pmid = 6062875 | doi = 10.1007/BF02154119 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = De Caro G, Endean R, Erspamer V, Roseghini M | title = Occurrence of caerulein in extracts of the skin of Hyla caerulea and other Australian hylids | journal = British Journal of Pharmacology and Chemotherapy | volume = 33 | issue = 1 | pages = 48–58 | date = May 1968 | pmid = 5660165 | pmc = 1570274 | doi = 10.1111/j.1476-5381.1968.tb00473.x }}</ref>
