Abstract
Using immunohistochemistry and radioimmunoassay, substance(s) related to the amphibian octapeptide xenopsin (XP) were demonstrated in the gastric mucosa of humans and dogs. Immunohistochemistry localized XP-immunoreactive epithelial cells in the gastric antral mucosa. The reaction was abolished by preabsorption of the antiserum with XP but not by neurotensin or other peptides. Immunoreactive XP (iXP) was found by radioimmunoassay in extracts of both the antrum and body of the stomach prepared with acid/acetone or acetic acid. A study of its distribution in the dog indicated that the level of iXP was highest in the stomach, lower in the pancreas and duodenum, and not measurable in the jejunoileum and colon. Gel chromatography on Sephadex G-25 indicated the presence of at least two forms of iXP, one larger and the other about the same size as XP. Reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography on mu-Bondapak C-18 yielded several peaks of iXP, one of which eluted at the position of synthetic XP. The results of immunochemical analyses using four different antisera towards XP were consistent with structures for canine iXPs that were closely related to XP only in their C-terminal regions. These results suggest that mammalian counterparts to amphibian XP reside within endocrine cells of the gastric mucosa. It seems possible that these peptides function as gastrointestinal signals.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
