title: Characterization of rodent liver and kidney AVP receptors: pharmacologic evidence for species differences.
abstract: Radioligand binding studies with [3H]vasopressin (AVP) were used to determine the affinities of AVP receptor agonists and antagonists for mouse liver and kidney plasma membrane preparations. Both membrane preparations exhibited one class of high-affinity binding site. AVP ligand binding inhibition studies confirmed that mouse liver binding sites belong to the V1A subtype while kidney binding sites belong to the V2 receptor subtype. The affinity of each ligand for mouse V1A receptors was very similar to that for rat V1A receptors, showing differences in Ki values of less than 3-fold. In contrast, several peptide (d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)AVP) and nonpeptide (OPC-21268 and SR 49059) ligands had different affinities for mouse and rat kidney V2 receptors, with differences in Ki values ranging from 14- to 17-fold. These results indicate that mouse and rat kidney V2 receptors show significant pharmacologic differences.
