Identification of the C-terminal flanking peptide of preprocholecystokinin in rat brain by a novel radioimmunoassay

  • 1. Liverpool Univ. (UK). Physiological Lab.

Description

The C-terminal flanking peptide of preprocholecystokinin (preproCCK) has been identified in extracts of rat brain using a novel radioimmunoassay. There is a single form of immunoreactive material on gel filtration, ion exchange and reversed-phase HPLC. The C-terminal preproCCK immunoreactivity has a similar pattern of distribution to CCK8 in different regions of rat brain. This assay should help in studies of neuronal CCK biosynthesis. (Auth.)
