title: High affinity binding sites for basic fibroblast growth factor in rat hepatic plasma membranes.
abstract: The binding of [125I]-recombinant basic FGF (rec bFGF) to rat hepatic plasma membranes was investigated. [125I] rec bFGF bound to an apparent single class of high affinity binding sites (KD = 69 pM; Bmax = 9.61 fmoles/mg proteins). The absence of low affinity sites was confirmed by the inability of sulphated polysaccharides and heparinase to interfere with FGF binding. A good correlation existed between the ability of bovine pituitary-derived bFGF, rec bFGF and bovine brain-derived aFGF to displace [125I]rec bFGF from these binding sites and their in vitro potency on bovine aortic endothelial cell proliferation.
