The distribution of cholecystokinin receptors in the hamster gallbladder was investigated by 125I-labeled Bolton-Hunter-cholecystokinin octapeptide autoradiography. Light microscopic examination showed a marked accumulation of radiolabeled cholecystokinin within the domain of the muscle layer of the gallbladder. The electron microscopic study further disclosed the presence of radiolabeling mostly in those areas corresponding to cell-to-cell junctions of smooth-muscle cells. Our results suggest that contraction of the gallbladder may primarily be induced by cholecystokinin interacting with its specific receptor in smooth-muscle cells. That cholecystokinin receptors were more abundant in the junctional complexes of smooth-muscle cells suggests that cholecystokinin may have a major role in muscle contraction of the gallbladder, which eventually produces an effective bile emptying.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D011869 Radioligand Assay Quantitative determination of receptor (binding) proteins in body fluids or tissue using radioactively labeled binding reagents (e.g., antibodies, intracellular receptors, plasma binders).

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.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
