Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a gastrointestinal hormone which regulates gastric motility. The authors have characterized specific /sup 125/I-BH-CCK-8 binding in guinea pig stomach muscle membranes. The relative potencies of various CCK related peptides to inhibit specific /sup 125/I-CCK-8 binding in stomach muscle membranes resembled their rank order determined for pancreatic CCK receptor binding (CCK-8>> CCK-8-desulfate = gastrin CCK-4). The specific peripheral CCK antagonist, asperlicin and other non- selective CCK antagonists including proglumide, CBZ-CCK (26-32) amide, dibutyrylcyclic GMP and benzotript effectively inhibited /sup 125/I-CCK-8 binding in gastric muscle membranes with IC/sub 50/'s comparable to those for pancreatic CCK receptors. In contrast, specific /sup 125/I-CCK-8 binding in guinea pig gastric glands was inhibited equally well by gastrin and CCK-8. Moreover, asperlicin did not inhibit /sup 125/I-CCK-8 binding in guinea gastric glands. These results indicate CCK receptors in the stomach muscle membranes are similar to pancreatic CCK receptors but different from brain CCK or gastrin receptors.
