A fragment that induces glucose intolerance in hereditarily obese mice has been prepared from pituitary growth hormone(sheep and human) by controlled digestion with pepsin in 0.05 M sodium acetate buffer, pH 3.7. The digest was purified by column chromatography on Bio-Gel P-6, followed by chromatography on Bio-Rex 70 and Bio-Gel P-2; in each successive step peptide was quantitated with the fluorescamine procedure. The fragment from sheep growth hormone has these characteristics: (1) It induces glucose intolerance in fasted ob/ob female mice when injected subcutaneously in a divided dose 15 min before, and concurrently with, glucose. (2) It is a basie peptide, as judged from its elution behavior on Bio-Rex 70, H(+) form. (3) It does not crossreact with antiserum to human growth hormone in radioimmunoassay. Further purification and initial sequence determinations have been undertaken.
通过在pH 3.7的0.05M醋酸钠缓冲液中用胃蛋白酶进行可控消化,从垂体生长激素(绵羊和人类)中制备出了一种能在遗传性肥胖小鼠中诱发葡萄糖不耐受的片段。消化产物先用Bio-Gel P-6进行柱色谱纯化,然后再用Bio-Rex 70和Bio-Gel P-2进行色谱分离;在每一步后续操作中,都用荧光胺法对肽进行定量。绵羊生长激素片段具有以下特性:(1)在禁食的ob/ob雌性小鼠中,在注射葡萄糖前15分钟皮下分剂量注射该片段并同时注射葡萄糖时,会诱发葡萄糖不耐受。(2)从其在Bio-Rex 70(H(+)形式)上的洗脱行为判断,它是一种碱性肽。(3)在放射免疫测定中,它与抗人生长激素血清不发生交叉反应。已经进行了进一步的纯化和初步的序列测定。
