Abstract
High-affinity binding sites for mono[125I]iodoapamin were detected in membranes (Kd = 59 pM, Bmax = 24 fmol/mg protein) and cultured cells (Kd = 69 pM, Bmax = 2.8 fmol/mg protein) from rat heart and in membranes from guinea-pig ileum (Kd = 67 pM, Bmax = 42 fmol/mg protein) and liver (Kd = 15 pM, Bmax = 43 fmol/mg protein). Binding was stimulated by K+ ions (K0.5 = 0.3.sbd.0.5 mM). Covalent labeling with arylazide [125I]iodoapamin derivatives showed that smooth muscle liver and heart binding molecules are associated with a 85.sbd.87-kDa polypeptide. A second strongly labeled 57-kDa component was identified in liver membranes only.This publication has 29 references indexed in Scilit:
