The ability of transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) to interact with the gastric mucosal epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor was investigated using a mucosal membrane preparation. TGF-alpha inhibited specific binding of [125I]EGF to its receptor, but the IC50 for TGF-alpha was at least 100 fold greater than that observed for unlabeled EGF. Cross-linking studies revealed no attachment of [125I]TGF-alpha to EGF-receptor size components, and the unlabeled TGF-alpha was only weakly effective in inhibiting cross-linking of [125I]EGF to the 170 kDa receptor. However, when the cytosolic fraction was reconstituted with the membrane preparation, an enhancement in binding of [125I]TGF-alpha to the EGF receptor occurred in a manner dependent on the concentration of cytosolic protein. Hence the binding characteristics of TGF-alpha to the EGF receptor in gastric mucosa are different from those for EGF.

D003432 Cross-Linking Reagents Reagents with two reactive groups, usually at opposite ends of the molecule, that are capable of reacting with and thereby forming bridges between side chains of amino acids in proteins; the locations of naturally reactive areas within proteins can thereby be identified; may also be used for other macromolecules, like glycoproteins, nucleic acids, or other.

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
