title: Inositol 1,2-cyclic 4,5-trisphosphate is an order of magnitude less potent than inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in mobilizing intracellular stores of calcium in mouse pancreatic acinar cells.
abstract: Semi-synthetic inositol 1,2-cyclic 4,5-trisphosphate is 1/16th as potent as inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in releasing Ca2+ from intracellular stores in permeabilized mouse pancreatic acinar cells. Competitive displacement studies in mouse pancreatic microsomes show that the affinity of inositol 1,2-cyclic 4,5-trisphosphate is 1/20th of that of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate at the latter's receptor, indicating that the lower potency of inositol 1,2-cyclic 4,5-trisphosphate in releasing Ca2+ can be accounted for by a weaker affinity at the receptor. These results suggest that inositol 1,2-cyclic 4,5-trisphosphate is unlikely to play any significant role in Ca2+ mobilization, at least in mouse pancreatic acinar cells.
