Hypocalcin from Stannius corpuscles inhibits gill calcium uptake in trout

Bidirectional whole body flux and branchial Ca2+ influx were measured in freshwater rainbow trout. Intra-arterial injections of homogenates of Stannius corpuscles (CS) as well as of a 54-kDa isolated product (hypocalcin) exerted an inhibitory effect on whole body Ca2+ influx, but did not effect Ca2+ efflux. Hypocalcin was more effective in reducing Ca2+ influx in trout acclimated to low-calcium freshwater than in fish from normal-calcium water. We conclude that the isolated product (hypocalcin) represents the hypocalcemic principle of the CS. Similar doses of hypocalcin caused quantitatively similar decreases in Ca2+ influx in vivo and in the isolated perfused head preparation. This indicates that the gills form the principle target for hypocalcin in trout. The branchial transepithelial potential did not change during hormone treatments. Possible mechanisms of hypocalcin action are suggested.
