| Abstract | An evolutionary basis for the distinct forms of cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors in the mammalian brain and pancreas was examined. The brains and pancreases of ratfish, frog, snake, and chicken contained saturable, high-affinity binding sites for iodinated porcine CCK-33. In the ectothermic species, the brain and pancreas CCK receptors exhibited nearly the same relative specificities for various CCKs and gastrins. Sulfated CCK-8 and sulfated gastrin-17 were the most potent while their nonsulfated analogs and gastrin-4 were less potent. By contrast, in the chicken, the specificities of brain and pancreas CCK receptors closely resembled their mammalian counterparts. We conclude that brain and pancreas CCK receptors with new specificities for binding CCKs and gastrins evolved at the level of the divergence of endotherms (birds and mammals) from reptiles. We propose that the prior evolution of gastrin provided the selection pressure for these changes. The endotherm pancreas receptor arose in evolution by narrowing its requirement for the position of a sulfated tyrosine residue in its ligands from either the sixth or seventh position from the carboxyl terminus to the seventh position only. The endotherm brain receptor arose in evolution by losing its requirement for a sulfated ligand and by transferring its high-affinity binding domain from the tyrosine residue in the carboxyl termini of CCK and gastrin to the carboxyl-terminal tetrapeptide active site common to CCKs and gastrins. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
