title: Involvement of membrane surface charge in thermal stability of the rat ovarian LH/hCG receptor.
abstract: Analysis of fluorescence of membrane-bound 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonate and monodansylcadaverine probes revealed that a negative membrane surface charge derived from free fatty acids (FFA) resulted in destabilization of structure-functional properties of the rat ovarian LH/hCG receptor. Removal of FFA from rat luteal and porcine ovarian granulosa cells by BSA increased gonadotropin responsiveness of cells in cAMP formation.
