Abstract:A specific binding site for somatotropin was solubilized by 1% (v/v) Triton X-100 from a crude particulate membrane fraction of pregnant rabbit liver, partially purified and characterized. The solubilized binding site retained many of the characteristics observed in the original particulate fraction, indicating that extraction of the binding site with Triton X-100 does not cause any major changes in its properties. The binding of human 125I-labelled-somatotropin to the solubilized binding site is a saturable a… Show more
“…When peak B fractions of Sepharose 6B column were pooled and applied to a concanavalin ASepharose column, -80% of the radioactivity was adsorbed to the column, and a major part of the adsorbed counts could be dissociated by elution with 0.3 M cY-methyl-D-glucoside (not shown). The behavior of t251-hGH crosslinked receptor in both Sepharose 6B and concanavalin A-Sepharose columns is quite similar to that of its non-crosslinked counterpart [3], indicating that crosslinking using DSS does not cause gross changes in the Mr of the receptor or in its properties as a glycoprotein.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
