title: Effect of Triton X-100 on insulin and epidermal growth factor receptor binding and autophosphorylation in Golgi fractions and partially purified receptors from rat liver.
abstract: Triton X-100 strongly affects the receptor binding and autophosphorylation of insulin and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in rat liver Golgi fractions and partially purified microsomal receptors. At concentration 0.05% Triton X-100 decreased the insulin receptor binding by 15% and the EGF receptor binding by 70% as compared to controls. In contrast, 0.05% Triton X-100 increased insulin-stimulated receptor autophosphorylation by more than 370% as compared to 87% in the control. Similarly, the same concentration of Triton X-100 increased the EGF-stimulated receptor phosphorylation by 65% as compared to 14% in the control. EGF receptor binding was more sensitive to the treatment of Triton. At Triton concentrations 0.2% or more, the EGF receptor binding was totally abolished while the insulin receptor binding was decreased by 50%. On the other hand, the activity of ligand-stimulated receptor phosphorylation of both insulin and EGF receptors was only slightly decreased in the presence of 0.2% Triton.
