title: Solubilization and characterization of substance P-binding sites from chick brain membranes.
abstract: Sites binding monoiodinated-Bolton-Hunter-reagent-labelled substance P were solubilized from 1-day-old-chick brain membrane by using non-ionic detergents (1% digitonin/1% n-octyl glucoside) and a high concentration of NaCl (0.5 M). The solubilized preparation retained the pharmacological properties of the high-affinity binding sites found in the native membrane. The high density of specific binding sites (approximately 2 pmol of binding sites/mg of protein) suggests that the chick brain membranes may be a useful source for the purification of the substance P-binding sites.
