Elastolytic activity of human duodenal contents. 1975

Elastolytic activity of human duodenal contents was determined using the new chromogenic substrate succinyl-trialanine-p-nitroanilide (Suc-Ala3-NAp). The mean output values after pancreatic stimulation with pancreozymin and secretin were significantly higher in controls than in subjects with impairment of other secretory values (volume, bicarbonate, amylase, lipase). Agar gel electrophoresis and chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex revealed one to two fractions which differed in mobility (cathodic and anodic fraction), elution with different NaCl concentrations (0.15 M, cathodic fraction; 0.3 M, anodic fraction), and in behaviour towards synthetic and natural substrate (Suc-Ala3-NAp) and elastin-Congo Red). The cathodic fraction cleaved both substrates, whereas the anodic fraction cleaved only Suc-Ala3-NAp. After trypsin and enterokinase treatment the anodic fraction behaved as the cathodic fraction on DEAE-Sephadex chromatography. The molecular weights (Sephadex G-100) and the Michaelis constants (Suc-Ala3-NAp) of both fractions were identical (24 500; 0.45 X 10(-3) M). These fractions represent probably diffenent activation forms of pancreatic elastase.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D010196 Pancreatic Elastase A protease of broad specificity, obtained from dried pancreas. Molecular weight is approximately 25,000. The enzyme breaks down elastin, the specific protein of elastic fibers, and digests other proteins such as fibrin, hemoglobin, and albumin. EC 3.4.21.36. Elastase,Pancreatopeptidase,Elastase I,Pancreatic Elastase I,Elastase I, Pancreatic,Elastase, Pancreatic
D002766 Cholecystokinin A peptide, of about 33 amino acids, secreted by the upper INTESTINAL MUCOSA and also found in the central nervous system. It causes gallbladder contraction, release of pancreatic exocrine (or digestive) enzymes, and affects other gastrointestinal functions. Cholecystokinin may be the mediator of satiety.

D004386 Duodenum The shortest and widest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE adjacent to the PYLORUS of the STOMACH. It is named for having the length equal to about the width of 12 fingers. Duodenums
