General description

Cholecystokinins are a series of peptides of heterogeneous length (5 to 58 amino acids) that are derived from preprocholecystokinin and are found in gastrointestinal tissues and the central nervous system. Gastrin is a related peptide with 5 C-terminal amino acids identical to those of cholecystokinin. Two GPCRs, CCK1 (CCKA) and CCK2 (CCKB), bind to CCK and/or gastrin to mediate the biological effects of the peptides. CCK1 selectively binds sulfated CCK, whereas CCK2 binds to CCK and gastrin with similar affinity. Binding of ligands to CCK1 stimulates mobilization of intracellular calcium by activation of Gq/11. CCK1 receptors in the periphery are primarily localized in the pancreas, gallbladder, pylorus, intestine where they are responsible for the regulation of diverse digestive processes. They are also present in select areas of the peripheral nervous system (vagus nerve), and the CNS where they mediate the satiety effects of CCK, regulate an increase in dopamine release, and antagonize opioid analgesia (Noble et al., 1999). Chemicon′s CCK1 membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening of antagonists of CCK1 interactions and its ligands. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 0.5 nM for [125I]-CCK-8 sulfated. With 10.0ug/well CCK1 membrane prep and 0.5 nM [125I]-CCK-8 sulfated, a greater than 4-fold signal-to-background ratio was obtained.

Specifications

Inucbation Conditions
Membranes are mixed with radioactive ligand and unlabeled competitor (see Figures 1 and 2 for concentrations tested) in binding buffer in a nonbinding 96-well plate, and incubated for 1-2 h. Prior to filtration, an FC 96-well harvest plate (Millipore cat. # MAHF C1H) is blocked with 50mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.5% BSA. Binding reaction is transferred to the filter plate, and washed 3 times (1 mL per well per wash) with Wash Buffer. The plate is dried and counted.
Note: Due to the acidic property of the labeled sulfated CCK-8, filter plates coated with PEI bind the labeled ligand nonspecifically and result in elevated backgrounds.

Binding buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.2% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C
Radioligand: [125I] -CCK-8 sulfated (Perkin Elmer # NEX203)
Wash Buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 500mM NaCl, 0.1% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C.

Physical form

One package contains enough membranes for at least 200 assays (units), where an unit is the amount of membrane that will yield greater than 4-fold signal:background with 125I-labeled CCK-8 at 0.5 nM.

Liquid in packaging buffer: 50 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 10% glycerol with no preservatives.
Packaging method: Membranes protein was adjusted to the indicated concentration in packaging buffer, rapidly frozen, and stored at -80oC.

Storage and Stability

Maintain frozen at -70°C for up to 2 years. Do not freeze and thaw.
