PMID- 2171045 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 19901109 LR - 20191210 IS - 0167-0115 (Print) IS - 0167-0115 (Linking) VI - 29 IP - 2-3 DP - 1990 Jul 30 TI - The amino acid sequence of chymodenin, a hormone-like peptide from porcine duodenum, is identical to cytochrome C-oxidase, peptide VII. PG - 241-50 AB - The amino acid sequence of chymodenin, a hormone-like peptide from porcine duodenum is reported. The molecule is known to rapidly alter the proportions of digestive enzymes secreted by the rabbit pancreas in vivo and in vitro, by selection of the specific intra-pancreatic source from which the preset mixture of digestive enzymes is secreted. The sequence is identical to that of cytochrome C-oxidase peptide VII (cCoVII) from bovine heart, with the exception of a substitution of threonine for alanine at position 6 and a second substitution of alanine for threonine at position 71. Disulfide bridges link positions 29-64 and 39-53. cCoVII-chymodenin has a pentapeptide (-Ala-Glu-Gly-Thr-Phe-) near the carboxy-terminus which is immediately preceded by an -Arg-Arg- sequence in the porcine and bovine sequences of cCoVII. This peptide is identical to a pentapeptide found close to the amino terminus of the hormones gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide I. The identity to cCoVII means chymodenin as isolated is itself unlikely to be a gastrointestinal hormone. However, the partial commonality of sequence with the glucagon-secretin family immediately adjacent to a pro-hormone-like activation site, and the specific actions on the exocrine pancreas, means that the molecule probably mimics the natural actions of an as-yet uncharacterized member of the glucagon family, which exerts a unique action on exocrine pancreatic secretion.
