title: [Interaction of sex steroids with proteins from the soluble fraction of swine and cattle liver (a preliminary analysis)].
abstract: The interactions of [3H]estradiol, [3H]testosterone and [3H]progesterone with soluble proteins from porcine and calf liver were studied. The specific binding of [3H]progesterone and [3H]testosterone in calf liver cytosol seems to be due to serum transcortin or its intracellular precursor (analog). Contrariwise, the specific binding of [3H]progesterone observed in porcine liver cytosol was absent in the serum. This binding was characterized by slow association and dissociation dynamics, moderate affinity for the [3H]-ligand and a high binding capacity. The structural determinants of the ligands were studied by competitive inhibition of the [3H]-ligand binding. The delta 4-3-keto group in the steroid A-ring was found to be the most important determinant. An intensive metabolism of [3H]progesterone was observed during its incubation with cytosol (data from thin-layer chromatography). A 3H-metabolite (presumably, 20 beta-dihydroprogesterone) was predominant in the bound ligand fraction. The data obtained suggest that proteins of a steromodulin type are widely distributed in the mammalian liver.
