title: Receptor-mediated endocytosis of the intrinsic factor-cobalamin complex in HT 29, a human colon carcinoma cell line.
abstract: A HT 29 cell line derived from human colonic carcinoma was shown to express the intrinsic factor receptor, with about 5000 binding sites per cell and an association constant of 20 x 10(9) 1/mol at pH 7.4 and 4 degrees C. The number of binding sites increased dramatically between 7 and 10 days of culture time. Endocytosis of the intrinsic factor-cobalamin-receptor complex was inhibited by two ways: at 4 degrees C and at 37 degrees C by incubating the cells with vinblastine, monensin and chloroquine. The plasma membrane receptor was cross-linked to [57Co]cobalamin-intrinsic factor and solubilized with Triton X-100. The cross-linked complex had a relative molecular mass of 330 kDa in native PAGE.
