title: Demonstration of two subtypes of insulin-like growth factor receptors by affinity cross-linking.
abstract: The structure of receptors for insulin-like growth factors in rat liver plasma membranes and the BRL 3A2 rat liver cell line has been examined by chemical cross-linking with disuccinimidyl suberate and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing and nonreducing conditions. Two receptor subtypes have been identified: (i) 125I multiplication-stimulating activity cross-linked to liver membranes or intact cells appeared in a complex of Mr = 260,000 (reduced) and 220,000 (nonreduced) and (ii) 125I-insulin-like growth factor I cross-linked to BRL 3A2 cells appeared predominantly in two bands of Mr greater than 300,000 without disulfide reduction and in a Mr = 130,000 complex following reduction. The two subtypes of insulin-like growth factor receptors identified by structural analysis correspond to previously observed differences in their specificity for insulin and insulin-like growth factors.
