Pancreatic polypeptide from rat pancreas

JR Kimmel, HG Pollock, RE Chance, MG Johnson, JR Reeve Jr, IL Taylor, C Miller and JE Shively

Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) has been isolated from rat pancreas by gel filtration, ion exchange chromatography, and high performance liquid chromatography. The isolation was monitored with a RIA, using antibody to the carboxyl-terminal hexapeptide of bovine PP. Rat PP contains 36 amino acids and is similar in composition to PP from other mammalian sources. The single methionine residue in the peptide appears to oxidize easily to the sulfoxide, thereby giving rise to two immunoactive peaks on high performance liquid chromatography. Reduction to the native peptide can be accomplished with mercaptoethanol. The PP content of rat pancreas is about 2 mg/kg. The amino acid sequence of rat PP is Ala-Pro-Leu-Glu-Pro-Met-Tyr-Pro-Gly-Asp- Tyr-Ala-Thr-His-Glu- Gln-Arg-Ala-Gln-Tyr-Glu-Thr-Gln-Leu-Arg-Arg-Tyr-Ile- Asn-Thr-Leu-Thr- Arg-Pro-Arg-Tyr-NH2. This sequence preserves characteristics necessary for stabilization of the compact globular conformation found in avian PP.
