  • Title: Structure-activity studies of C- and N-terminal fragments of cholecystokinin 26-33 in guinea pig isolated tissues.

    Abstract:
    In vitro structure-activity studies with cholecystokinin (CCK)/gastrin-related peptides, including C- and N-terminal fragments of CCK 26-33, were undertaken in guinea pig gallbladder and ileum. The general order of potency in both smooth muscle preparations is CCK 26-33 greater than CCK 1-33 greater than 27-33 much much greater than nonsulfated (NS) CCK 26-33 greater than pentagastrin greater than CCK 30-33. None of the CCK fragments exhibit antagonistic properties such as in guinea pig, rat and mouse pancreatic acinar cells and hog duodenum. These observations suggest the existence of CCK receptor sub-types in peripheral tissues.
