Popis: SummaryExtracts of the digestive tracts of three amphibian species were examined by radioimmunoassay for gastrin-like materials. Gastrin was detected in all three species of amphibia examined. In R. cates-beiana and R. pipiens the largest tissue concentrations of gastrin were found in the antrum, followed by the duodenum and pancreas, respectively, in order of decreasing gastrin content. In the urodele Necturus the duodenum contained the highest tissue content of gastrin followed by the antrum and then the pancreas.Molecular heterogeneity of gastrin was found in the sera of R. catesbeiana and in tissue extracts of R. catesbeiana and Necturus.
