title: Cholecystokinin receptors in the brain: characterization and distribution.
abstract: Specific cholecystokinin binding sites in particulate fractions of rat brain were measured with iodine 125-labeled Bolton-Hunter cholecystokinin, a cholecystokinin analog that has full biological activity. Binding was detected in brain regions known to contain immunoreactive cholecystokinin. Binding was saturable, reversible, of high affinity (dissociation constant, 1.7 x 10(-9) M), and was inhibited by cholecystokinin analogs but not by unrelated hormones.
