Abstract
Forskolin-activated adenylate cyclase activity in rat erythrocyte membranes was markedly inhibited by methanol in a concentration dependent manner. On the contrary, no change was observed in the basal cyclase activity in the presence of methanol. The methanol inhibition forskolin-activated cyclase activity was protected by the stimulation of Gs in the presence of NaF in a concentration dependent manner. These data indicate that low- and high-affinity binding sites of forskolin in rat erythrocyte membranes have different sensitivities to methanol.
