Gel filtration pattern of immunoreactive glucagon secreted by the isolated, perfused, porcine pancreas. 1979

J J Holst, and H Von Schenck, and S Lindkaer

The isolated pancreatic glands from six pigs were perfused in a single pass system and then stimulated with arginine. Samples of the early response perfusate were subjected to gel filtration. Glucagon was determined radioimmunologically in the column effluents using four different antisera with various capacities to recognize other molecular forms of pancreatic type glucagon immunoreactivities. One antiserum crossreacted with purified gut type glucagon. More than 93% of the assayed glucagon in the effluent was eluted within the distribution of pancreatic glucagon when chromatographed under identical conditions. In fifteen experiments there was no detectable immunoreactivity corresponding to the void volume, whereas in the remaining seven experiments less than 7% was eluted at this position. The immunoreactivity in the void volume was detected variably by the four antibodies. No immunoreactivity was detected between the void volume and the elution position of pancreatic glucagon. It is concluded that the arginine stimulated porcine pancreas almost exclusively secretes one molecular species of glucagon, which probably is the 29-amino acid peptide.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.
D010477 Perfusion Treatment process involving the injection of fluid into an organ or tissue. Perfusions
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.

D005934 Glucagon A 29-amino acid pancreatic peptide derived from proglucagon which is also the precursor of intestinal GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDES. Glucagon is secreted by PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS and plays an important role in regulation of BLOOD GLUCOSE concentration, ketone metabolism, and several other biochemical and physiological processes.
