Abstract
A new radioligand, [125I]-[Lys5Tyr(I2)7,MeLeu9,Nle10]-NKA(4-10), based on the selective agonist [Lys5,MeLeu9,Nle10]-NKA(4-10) has been developed. Binding in rat fundus membranes was displaced by NPγ>NKA≥[Lys5,MeLeu9,Nle10]-NKA(4-10)>neuropeptide K> Lys5,Tyr I2MeLeu9,Nle10]-NKA(4-10)>SP> [Sar9,Met(O211]-SP≫ senktide, indicating binding to NK-2 receptors. Preliminary studies demostrated high specific binding in membranes from rat urinary bladder, duodenum and colon. Specific binding in rat brain and lung was negligible, and binding in a range of guinea-pig tissues was no more than 35% specific. These data may indicate species differences in NK-2 receptors.
