title: Brain CCK receptors: species differences in regional distribution and selectivity.
abstract: The binding of 125I-CCK-33 to its receptors prepared from cerebral cortex and cerebellum was studied in four species: mouse, rat, hamster, and guinea pig. Only the guinea pig showed significant binding to membranes from cerebellum and this binding was comparable to that observed for cerebral cortex. In all four species, the order of potency of unlabeled analogs to compete for the binding site was CCK-8 greater than CCK-33 greater than desulfated CCK-8 greater than CCK-4. While the affinity for CCK-8 and CCK-33 was similar in the various species, the relative affinity for desulfated CCK-8 and CCK-4 was less for hamster and guinea pig, indicating species differences in receptor specificity, as well as in regional localization.
