Abstract
Recent immunohistochemical findings have indicated the presence of gastrin-releasing peptide in normal and pathological human lungs. Gastrin-releasing peptide is a 27-amino acid peptide isolated from porcine gut which bears considerable carboxyterminal homology with bombesin. We have characterized the gastrin-releasing peptide-like peptides present in a human malignant lung carcinoid tumor by gel chromatography and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Our results show that this tumor did not contain bombesin; however, this tumor expressed a gastrin-releasing peptide-like compound, several amino-terminal fragments, and a carboxy-terminal fragment of gastrin-releasing peptide.Entities:
