title: Characterization of solubilized bradykinin B2 receptors from smooth muscle and mucosa of guinea pig ileum.
abstract: Bradykinin (BK) B2 receptors in guinea pig ileum were characterized in both membrane and soluble form. [3H]BK bound to a single class of sites with almost identical affinities in membranes prepared from the longitudinal muscle, circular muscle and mucosal layers of the ileum. The pharmacology of the binding in the distinct layers was indistinguishable. The detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propane sulfonate (CHAPS) maximally solubilized nearly 80% of membrane binding activity in a very stable conformation. In soluble preparations, [3H]BK labeled a single class of sites but with about 10-fold lower affinity. The affinities of BK analogs in competition studies were similarly reduced. There was no difference in the pharmacology of the binding in soluble receptors prepared from the different layers of the ileum. The results show that the ileum is a good source of solubilized B2 receptors and that the receptors in the smooth muscle and the mucosa are very similar.
