The effects of supramaximal concentrations of substance P and the cholinergic agonist carbachol on the accumulation of inositol trisphosphate and the elevation of the intracellular free calcium concentration were compared in rat parotid acinar cells. Substance P was fully as effective as carbachol at initial times, but there was a rapid loss of the substance P responses while the effects of carbachol were well maintained. The loss of the substance P responses represented desensitization rather than degradation of the peptide since further additions of substance P were without effect. Desensitization to substance P did not involve long-term loss of substance P receptors as it was fully reversible in less than twenty minutes, the minimum time to extensively wash previously desensitized cells.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D010306 Parotid Gland The largest of the three pairs of SALIVARY GLANDS. They lie on the sides of the FACE immediately below and in front of the EAR. Gland, Parotid,Glands, Parotid,Parotid Glands
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes. Coagulation Factor IV,Factor IV,Blood Coagulation Factor IV,Calcium-40,Calcium 40,Factor IV, Coagulation
D002217 Carbachol A slowly hydrolyzed CHOLINERGIC AGONIST that acts at both MUSCARINIC RECEPTORS and NICOTINIC RECEPTORS. Carbamylcholine,Carbacholine,Carbamann,Carbamoylcholine,Carbastat,Carbocholine,Carboptic,Doryl,Isopto Carbachol,Jestryl,Miostat,Carbachol, Isopto
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. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D013373 Substance P An eleven-amino acid neurotransmitter that appears in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. It is involved in transmission of PAIN, causes rapid contractions of the gastrointestinal smooth muscle, and modulates inflammatory and immune responses. Euler-Gaddum Substance P,Hypothalamic Substance P,SP(1-11),Euler Gaddum Substance P,Substance P, Euler-Gaddum,Substance P, Hypothalamic
D013403 Sugar Phosphates Phosphates, Sugar
D015544 Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Intracellular messenger formed by the action of phospholipase C on phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, which is one of the phospholipids that make up the cell membrane. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate is released into the cytoplasm where it releases calcium ions from internal stores within the cell's endoplasmic reticulum. These calcium ions stimulate the activity of B kinase or calmodulin. 1,4,5-InsP3,Inositol 1,4,5-Triphosphate,Myo-Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate,1,4,5-IP3,Myoinositol 1,4,5-Triphosphate
