Generalized presence of a PEC-60-like peptide in catecholamine neurones.

Abstract:

:PEC-60, a 60-residue intestinal peptide structurally related to the pancreatic secretory type of trypsin inhibitor, has been isolated, characterized and molecularly cloned. It shows biological activity as a hormone in both the gastrointestinal tract and in the immune system. We now report immunohistochemical evidence suggesting its neural localization exclusively within central and peripheral catecholamine (CA) neurones. PEC-60-like immunoreactivity was present in cell bodies, dendrites and nerve terminals of virtually all catecholamine neurones examined and including the noradrenergic gland cells of the adrenal medulla. PEC-60-like immunoreactivity was not seen, however, within the tyrosine hydroxylase-positive but CA-negative arcuate neurones producing growth hormone releasing hormone. The findings open up the possibility that a PEC-60-like peptide may represent a generalized co-transmitter in the peripheral and central CA neurones.
