Y. Tojyo et al., EVIDENCE THAT SUBSTANCE-P RECEPTORS DO NOT EXIST IN MOUSE PAROTID ANDSUBMANDIBULAR ACINAR-CELLS, Archives of oral biology, 38(3), 1993, pp. 269-271
Substance P (SP) had no effect on cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]
i) and inositol phosphate formation in mouse parotid and submandibular
acinar cells, but induced a rapid increase in [Ca2+]i and production
of inositol phosphates in rat acinar cells. In addition, SP did not st
imulate amylase release from mouse parotid acini, but SP-induced amyla
se release was seen in rats. These results indicate that the mouse lac
ks SP receptors on parotid and submandibular acinar cells.
