Procolipase was identified in the stomach by in situ hybridisation. A strong autoradiographic labelling of chief cells was seen in the fundus region, declining more distally and being almost absent in antrum. There was no labelling seen in the intestine. Colipase activity was estimated in rat gastric juice following pentagastrin stimulation and was found to average 2 μM. Furthermore, enterostatin, the N-terminal pentapeptide of procolipase, has been identified in the rat gut and pancreas. Extracts from gastric mucosa, intestinal mucosa and pancreas were purified by gel filtration (Sephadex G25), ion-exchange chromatography (CM-Sepharose) and HPLC (C18 reverse phase). Using an ELISA assay with antibodies directed against enterostatin, two forms of the peptide were identified both in the gut and in the pancreas, with the amino-acid sequences APGPR and VPGPR, respectively. APGPR was found to be the predominant form of enterostatin, whereas only a small amount had the structure VPGPR. Enterostatin in the form of APGPR, when injected intracerebroventricularly in female Sprague-Dawley rats, significantly reduced high-fat food intake in a two-choice situation of low-fat (14% fat by energy) and high-fat (38% fat) food. It is concluded that procolipase is produced in the stomach and secreted into the gastric juice. This is also a novel source of enterostatin.
