title: [The receptor of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is present on the membranes of insulinoma].
abstract: We demonstrate here that membranes prepared from beta cells which release insulin contain specific binding sites for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). The binding of 125I(His) human CGRP to beta cell membranes was protein concentration, time, temperature and pH dependent. Scatchard analysis of the data revealed a single class of binding sites with an apparent dissociation constant (Kd) of 1.5 nM and a maximal binding capacity of 19 fmol/mg of protein. Chicken CGRP inhibited the label binding whereas salmon calcitonin had only a weak effect. These results suggest that the effect of CGRP on insulin secretion is due to a direct action on beta cells.
