Abstract excerpt
This study examines the role of carboxypeptidase E (CPE) in processing pro tachykinin to form the final bioactive amidated undecapeptide, substance P (SP) in various rat brain regions. Cpe(fat)/Cpe(fat) mice brain tissue was analyzed for total SP forms (including intermediates), and final amidated SP was compared to Cpe+/Cpe+ and Cpe+/Cpe- controls. In all brain regions tested by radioimmunoassay, amidated fully...
