Gastrin/cholecystokinin-related peptides — comparative aspects

  • Chapter
Book cover The Comparative Physiology of Regulatory Peptides

Abstract

This chapter will focus on the peptides of the gastrin/cholecystokinin (CCK) family, from a comparative point of view. Most of the information available about these peptides regarding sequence, biosynthesis, metabolism and physiological actions is based on studies performed in mammals, and will be used as a basis for the review. During the past few years, interest in the comparative aspects has increased substantially, although most of the work is still at the basic level of identification and scanning, often performed with immunological techniques. The majority of available antisera are raised against mammalian peptides, which could mean that the antisera do not recognize the non-mammalian peptide, or that the antisera recognize a similar sequence of an unrelated peptide. In some studies, antisera specific to gastrin or CCK have been used, but the main body of information is based on observations with antisera raised to the common C-terminus, making it impossible to differentiate between the closely related peptides.
