Abstract

Acid extracts of rat intestine contain a material which metabolizes cholecystokinin-33 (CCK-33) to CCK-12. Soybean trypsin inhibitor had little effect on CCK metabolism by the intestinal material. The molecular weight of the CCK-metabolizing activity, estimated by gel filtration, was 34,000. These data suggest rat intestine contains a nontrypsin CCK-metabolizing enzyme. Results from gel filtration also suggest that large CCK forms can be artifactually degraded to smaller ones during chromatography.
