[3H]Propionyl-Tyr-(SO3H)-gNle-mGly-Trp-(NMe)Nle-Asp-Phe-NH2 ([3H]pBC 264) (98-100 Ci/mmol), a new peptidase-resistant cholecystokinin (CCK) agonist that is 1000-fold more potent for CCK-B than for CCK-A receptors, interacts, with a similar subnanomolar affinity, with a single class of binding sites (Kd, 0.15-0.2 nM) in brain membranes of mouse, rat, guinea pig, and cat, in Tris and Krebs buffers. The concentration of CCK-A receptors in rodent brain was estimated to be 8-10 fmol/mg of protein, by measurement of the Bmax values of the nonselective agonist [3H] propionyl-CCK8, with or without 10 nM pBC 264 to saturate CCK-B sites. In guinea pig and mouse brain, specific [3H]pBC 264 binding was not affected by NaCl and/or guanyl-5'-yl-imidodiphosphate. In contrast, in rat brain the affinity of [3H]pBC 264 was decreased and the maximal number of binding sites was increased by NaCl and the guanyl nucleotide or by alkaline treatment, suggesting that a proportion of CCK-B receptors are linked to guanine nucleotide-binding proteins. The Bmax of a CCK8 analog, [3H]SNF 8702, was higher (57 fmol/mg of protein) than that of [3H]pBC 264 (40 fmol/mg of protein) in guinea pig brain cortex but not in mouse brain. The relative potencies of various analogs differed among species. The CCK-B antagonist L365,260 was 18-, 30-, and 64-fold less potent than [3H]pBC 264 in guinea pig, mouse, and rat, respectively. PD 134308, a CCK-B antagonist, was 20-fold less potent in rat brain than in guinea pig brain. Likewise, the cyclic analog BC 254 displayed a 30- and 60-fold lower affinity for mouse and rat than for guinea pig brain preparations. Together, these results suggest the presence of CCK-B receptor subtypes. In all tissues, the specific binding of [3H]pBC 264 at its Kd values was very high (75-90%) and higher than that of the hydrophobic CCK-B probe [3H]SNF 8702 (approximately 50%). Therefore, unlike [3H]SNF 8702, [3H]pBC 264 can be used to study preparations with low receptor concentrations, such as rat brain, making this radiolabeled molecule the most appropriate ligand available to date for CCK-B receptor studies.

D011949 Receptors, Cholecystokinin Cell surface proteins that bind cholecystokinin (CCK) with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Cholecystokinin receptors are activated by GASTRIN as well as by CCK-4; CCK-8; and CCK-33. Activation of these receptors evokes secretion of AMYLASE by pancreatic acinar cells, acid and PEPSIN by stomach mucosal cells, and contraction of the PYLORUS and GALLBLADDER. The role of the widespread CCK receptors in the central nervous system is not well understood.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

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.
