Biologically important sites on intact porcine motilin (pMTL) were explored using its partial peptides. The partial peptides were synthesized using Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) solid phase methodology, and tested for the binding activity to motilin receptor and the smooth muscle contractile activity. The results were as follows : important residues for the contractile activity were found to be Phe^1,Ile^4,and Tyr^7,and an open space existed beyond the N-terminus between motilin and its receptor. On the model of interaction between motilin and motilin receptor evolved from these results, the three points of interaction, due to Phe^1,Ile^4,and Tyr^7,and the presence of an open space were expected. The motilin agonist and antagonist, designed on this model, will help the inquiry into motilin associated diseases.
