Abstract
The results show that a substantial part of intestinal CCK peptides in rats and pigs are not sulfated, and that the longer peptides (CCK-58 and CCK-33) are less sulfated than the shorter (CCK-22 and CCK-8). Hence, the results demonstrate that proCCK in the gut is processed both to sulfated and unsulfated α-amidated peptides of which the latter are assumed to act via the CCKB-receptor.
