The supernatant of cytoplasmic extract of rat small intestine was mixed with 65Zn and subjected to Sephadex G-75 column chromatography. The activity of 65Zn was detected in four peaks with estimated 800, 10,000, 50,000-75,000 mol wt, and larger than 100,000 daltons. The zinc-binding ligand from the 800 mol wt peak was prostaglandin or prostaglandin-like as indicated by ultra-violet absorption spectrum, by absorption spectrum shift in alcoholic potassium hydroxide, by its effects on pulmonary vascular resistance, and by radioimmunoassay. Addition of prostaglandin E2 or prostaglandin extracted from rat small intestine with ethyl acetate into the lumen of intestinal sacs resulted in a two to threefold increase in the activity of 65Zn in the external medium after 15-20 min incubation. The absorption and tissue distribution of orally administered 65Zn were decreased by 60% in indomethacin-treated rats and increased 70% when ethyl acetate-extracted prostaglandin and radioactive zinc were given simultaneously. These data suggest that prostaglandin not only binds zinc, but also facilitates its transport across the intestinal mucosa.
