The carboxyl-terminal tetrapeptide amide of the gastrin molecule has been shown to be physiologically inactive when deprived of its terminal amide group. In this study, the physiological activity of nonamidated human gastrin I (desamidogastrin) was examined. Desamidogastrin, in doses of 0.1, 1.0, and 10 μg per kg per hr, was administered by constant intravenous infusion to dogs prepared with Heidenhain pouches. In contrast to human gastrin I, desamidogastrin was found without measurable effect in stimulating acid output from the Heidenhain pouches. In addition, the immunological reactivity of desamidogastrin with antibodies to human gastrin I was assessed. Antibodies to human gastri n I utilized were those produced by repeated immunization of rabbits with human gastrin I, residues 2 to 17, covalently conjugated to bovine serum albumin. In addition to the absence of demonstrable physiological effect in stimulating acid secretion, when the gastrin carboxyl-terminal amide group was removed, greater than 99% of the immunological reactivity of human gastrin I molecules with these antibodies to gastrin was lost.
