Abstract

C6 of rat glioma cells and their plasma membranes degrade substance P (SP). The degradation, occurring mainly through the cleavage of the Gln6-Phe7, Phe7-Phe8, and Gly9-Leu10 bonds, was strongly inhibited by phosphoramidon. Endopeptidase-24.11 (EC 3.4.24.11) purified from C6 cell membranes also cleaved SP at the same three peptide bonds in a manner sensitive to phosphoramidon. Thus, the degradation of SP by glioma cells and their membranes seems to be mediated by the action of endopeptidase-24.11.
