title: Different handling of parathyrin by basal-lateral and brush-border membranes of the bovine kidney cortex.
abstract: The two parts of the bovine kidney cortex plasma membrane, the basal-lateral and the brush-border membrane, were simultaneously prepared from the same organ. Both types of membrane bound parathyrin, but only from the basal-lateral fraction was the hormone displaceable by its bioactive N-terminal fragment. In parallel, parathyrin-stimulated adenylate cyclase was predominantly found in basal-lateral membranes. The hormone was fragmented by both membrane types. Basal-lateral membranes generated fragments with a rather uniform size distribution (somewhat smaller than the intact peptide) and apparently preferred the hormone itself as a substrate. In contrast, the fragments produced by brush-border membranes were numberous small peptides.
