Somatostatin binding sites in cytosolic fraction isolated from rabbit antral and fundic gastric mucosa.
Specific binding sites for somatostatin have been identified and characterized in cytosolic fraction of rabbit gastric mucosa at both antrum and fundus levels. The binding depended on time, temperature and pH, and was reversible and saturable. The stoichiometric data suggested the presence of two classes of binding sites: a class with high affinity (Kd = 26.7 and 37.0 nM in antrum and fundus, respectively) and low capacity (2.1 and 4.1 pmol somatostatin/mg protein in antrum and fundus, respectively), and a class with low affinity (Kd = 246.4 and 162.5 nM in antrum and fundus, respectively) and high capacity (134.1 and 110.9 pmol somatostatin/mg protein in antrum and fundus, respectively) at 25 degrees C and pH 7.4. The binding sites were shown to be highly specific for somatostatin since neuropeptides such as Leu-enkephalin, neurotensin and substance P behaved as ligands with very low affinity.
