 ABSTRACT

 

Hwang IK, Lee HS, Nam YS, Lee CH, Yoon YS, Kang TC, Won MH,  Lee IS, Immunohistochemical localization of substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, galanin and calcium binding proteins in myenteric and submucosal plexuses of goat small intestine Onl J Vet Res., 1:7-17, 2002. Immunohistochemical and double immunofluorescence was used to identify the localization of calbindin D-28k (CB), calretinin (CR), parvalbumin (PA), substance P (SP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and galanin (GAL) in goat small intestine. Localization of CB with SP, CGRP or GAL in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses suggests that CB may serve a neuromodulatory role for SP-, CGRP-, and GAL-immunoreactive neurons in intestinal wall motility. Distributions of CB, CR and SP of the goat small intestine differ from guinea-pig and the pig. This difference may be relevant to morphological characteristics.

 

Key Words: calcitonin gene-related peptide, galanin, calcium binding proteins, myenteric and submucosal plexuses, goat, small intestine
