title: Characteristics of [3H]ryanodine binding to the rabbit cerebral microsomes.
abstract: Specific binding of [3H]ryanodine to the rabbit cerebral microsomes was dependent on free Ca2+ at micromolar concentrations and significantly increased by AMP-PNP and caffeine. Scatchard analysis showed a high and a low affinity binding site. The results suggest the presence of ryanodine binding sites which are activated by Ca2+ but with low efficacy, and greatly modified by adenine nucleotide, Mg2+ and also by caffeine.
