Calcitonin receptor binding in the hen neurohypophysis before and after oviposition

Abstract: To demonstrate the presence of a receptor for calcitonin (CT) in the hen neurohypophysis and to estimate the time of action of CT on the neurohypophysis during the oviposition cycle in relation to arginine vasotocin (AVT) release, binding of (125)I-labeled chicken CT in plasma membrane fractions of the hen neurohypophysis was measured by the use of a radioligand binding assay. The binding specificity, reversibility, high affinity, and limited capacity are characteristics of a CT receptor. Therefore, it was elu… Show more

“…The decrease in the number of peptide hormone receptors might have been caused by internalization when the hormone acted on its receptor (Muller et al, 1985). Such changes in receptor binding have been reported in the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone-I receptor of the chicken anterior pituitary (Kawashima et al, 1992), and in the calcitonin receptor of the chicken neurohypophysis (Nakayama et al, 2010a) after an injection of each hormone. The results in the present study suggest that the PTHrP may act directly on the anterior pituitary via its receptor binding and stimulate ACTH secretion from this tissue.…”

“…1992; Takahashi et al . 1994b; Nakayama et al . 2010b), the binding capacity of the CT receptor in the present study might decrease as a result of an increase in the CT action by an increase in the receptor binding affinity at 3 h before oviposition.…”

“…(Scatchard, 1949) in saturation experiments is often used in investigations of binding affinities and the capacities of hormone receptors (Takahashi and Kawashima, 2009ab;Nakagawa-Mizuyachi et al, 2010). The kinetic dissociation constant, which is calculated from the ratio of the dissociation rate constant (K −1 ) to the association rate constant (K +1 ), is also used in investigations of binding affinities of hormones and their receptors (Takahashi et al, 1997;Nakagawa-Mizuyachi et al, 2009;Takahashi and Kawashima, 2009b;Nakayama et al, 2010). Therefore, these methods were used to estimate binding affinity and Scatchard analysis was used to estimate binding capacity in the present study.…”
