Although the gallbladder was the first recognized target of the peptide hormone cholecystokinin (CCK) and is a physiologically important target, only one preliminary report of the biochemical characterization of this receptor exists. Recently, a series of molecular probes for the affinity labeling of different domains of the pancreatic CCK receptor have been developed. In this work the authors report the application of several of those probes toward the biochemical characterization of the bovine gallbladder muscularis receptor. These include long ({sup 125}I-Bolton-Hunter-CCK-33) and short ({sup 125}I-D-Tyr-Gly-((Nle{sup 28,31})CCK-(26-33))) probes chemically cross-linkable through their amino-terminal amino groups and monofunctional probes with their photolabile moieties at their amino terminus (2-diazo-3,3,3-trifluoropropionyl-{sup 125}I-D-Tyr-Gly-((Nle{sup 28,31})CCK-(26-33))) and carboxyl terminus ({sup 125}I-D-Tyr-Gly-((Nle{sup 28,31},pNO{sub 2}-Phe{sup 33})CCK-(26-33))), that span the receptor-binding region. Each of these bound specifically and saturably to a preparation enriched in plasma membranes from bovine gallbladder muscularis. These observations support the identification of the M{sub r} 70,000-85,000 protein as the bovine gallbladder CCK-binding subunit and, since this is a different size from the pancreatic CCK-binding subunit, provide biochemical evidence for molecular heterogeneity of peripheral CCK receptors.
