Pancreatic spasmolytic polypeptide (PSP): II. Radioimmunological determination of PSP in porcine tissues, plasma and pancreatic juice. 1982

L Thim, and K H Jørgensen, and K D Jørgensen

A radioimmunoassay (RIA) for the determination of porcine Pancreatic Spasmolytic Polypeptide (PSP) has been developed. The antisera raised in rabbits were sensitive to 5 pgequiv. of PSP in a volume of 100 microliter. Immunoreactive PSP (IR-PSP) has been determined in extracts from 22 porcine organs. Pancreas was found to be the only organ containing substantial amounts of IR-PSP (0.1 mgequiv. IR-PSP/g wet weight). The fasting porcine plasma level of IR-PSP was about 10 ngequiv./ml, corresponding to 850 pM. The concentration of IR-PSP in porcine pancreatic juice varied from 0.2 mugequiv./ml in the fasting state to 46-116 mugequiv./ml after stimulation with pancreozymin or secretin. A linear correlation was found between the exocrine secretion of IR-PSP and total protein.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009077 Mucins High molecular weight mucoproteins that protect the surface of EPITHELIAL CELLS by providing a barrier to particulate matter and microorganisms. Membrane-anchored mucins may have additional roles concerned with protein interactions at the cell surface. Mucin
D009124 Muscle Proteins The protein constituents of muscle, the major ones being ACTINS and MYOSINS. More than a dozen accessory proteins exist including TROPONIN; TROPOMYOSIN; and DYSTROPHIN. Muscle Protein,Protein, Muscle,Proteins, Muscle
D009479 Neuropeptides Peptides released by NEURONS as intercellular messengers. Many neuropeptides are also hormones released by non-neuronal cells. Neuropeptide
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.
D010189 Pancreatic Juice The fluid containing digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas in response to food in the duodenum. Juice, Pancreatic,Juices, Pancreatic,Pancreatic Juices
D010276 Parasympatholytics Agents that inhibit the actions of the parasympathetic nervous system. The major group of drugs used therapeutically for this purpose is the MUSCARINIC ANTAGONISTS.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

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.
