[Glucagon binding by isolated chick hepatocytes].
Studies have been made on the binding of 125I-glucagon by isolated chick hepatocytes. It was shown that pH and temperature dependence of the binding does not differ from that in rat hepatocytes. Optimum binding was observed at pH 7.6, the rate of binding being higher at 37 degrees C as compared to that at 20 degrees C, although the binding capacity increased with the decrease in the temperature. Unlabeled glucagon was able to compete with 125I-glucagon at the binding sites. Scatchard plot was found to be curvilinear revealing two classes of the binding sites with Kd values 10(-9) and 10(-7) M at temperatures 20 and 37 degrees C correspondingly. Earlier studies revealed in rats the binding sites of a sole class with Kd value 10(-9) M. Preincubation of cells with native glucagon results in changes of labeled glucagon binding, the effect being proportional to the concentration of native glucagon. Preincubation effect was observed at 37 degrees C, being absent at 20 degrees C; the effect was due to the decrease in the number of both high and low affinity binding sites. The presence of down-regulation of glucagon receptors in chick hepatocytes is suggested.
