Nonsulfated CCK₅₈ [CCK₅₈(ns)] has not been considered to be of biological importance because CCK₅₈(ns) binds poorly to the CCK_A receptor and has only been identified once in intestinal extracts. In this work, a radioimmunoassay specific for the COOH-terminal region of gastrin and CCK (antibody 5135) was used to monitor the purification of CCK molecular forms from canine intestinal extracts. A minor immunoreactive peak was associated with a major absorbance peak during an ion-exchange, HPLC step. Characterization of this minor immunoreactive peak demonstrated that it was CCK₅₈(ns). CCK₅₈(ns) is 14% as immunoreactive as sulfated CCK₈ [CCK₈(s)]. Amino acid analysis demonstrated that CCK₅₈(ns) was present at 50% the amount of CCK₅₈(s). In addition, we found that CCK₅₈(ns) does not potently displace an ¹²⁵I-labeled CCK₁₀ analog from the CCK_A receptor in mouse pancreatic membranes and does not stimulate amylase release from isolated pancreatic acini, or stimulate pancreatic secretion in an anesthetized rat model. By contrast, CCK₅₈(ns) does bind to CCK_B receptors and stimulates gastric acid secretion via this receptor. The presence of CCK₅₈(ns) and its ability to selectively stimulate the CCK_B receptor without stimulation of the CCK_A receptor suggest that CCK₅₈(ns) may have unique physiological properties, especially tissues where the nonsulfated peptide can act as a paracrine or neurocrine agent.
