The composition of zymogen granules from rat pancreas was determined by LC-MS/MS. Enrichedintragranular content, peripheral membrane, and integral membrane protein fractions were analyzedafter one-dimensional SDS-PAGE and tryptic digestion of gel slices. A total of 371 proteins was identifiedwith high confidence, including 84 previously identified granule proteins. The 287 remaining proteinsincluded 37 GTP-binding proteins and effectors, 8 tetraspan membrane proteins, and 22 channels andtransporters. Seven proteins, pantophysin, cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, carboxypeptidase D,ecto-nucleotide phosphodiesterase 3, aminopeptidase N, ral, and the potassium channel TWIK-2, wereconfirmed by immunofluorescence microscopy or by immunoblotting to be new zymogen granulemembrane proteins.
