Identification of cholecystokinin from frog and turtle. Divergence of cholecystokinin and gastrin occurred before the evolution of amphibia.

Abstract excerpt

Cholecystokinins from brain and small intestine of the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) and red-eared slider turtle (Pseudomys scripta) were isolated. The purifications were monitored by an antiserum specific for the common C-terminus of mammalian cholecystokinin and gastrin. The peptide structures were identified by sequence analysis of the intact peptides and proteolytic fragments, mass spectrometry, and amino acid...
