We examined the binding of the 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP) [3H]PN200-110 to membranes from a fibroblast cell line transfected with the alpha 1 subunit (DHP receptor) of the L-type Ca2+ channel from rabbit skeletal muscle. Binding site affinity (KD) and density (Bmax) were 1.16 +/- 0.31 nM and 142 +/- 17 fmoles/mg protein, respectively. This affinity corresponded closely with that observed in native skeletal muscle. The Ca2+ channel antagonists diltiazem and MDL 12,330A stimulated [3H]PN200-110 binding in a dose-dependent manner while flunarizine, quinacrine and trifluoperazine inhibited binding. Surprisingly, D600 also stimulated [3H]PN200-110 binding in a dose-dependent and stereoselective manner. It is concluded that the fibroblast cells used in this study provide a unique system for interactions of the Ca2+ channel ligands with the alpha 1 subunit of the skeletal muscle L-type Ca2+ channel.

D011978	Receptors, Nicotinic	One of the two major classes of cholinergic receptors. Nicotinic receptors were originally distinguished by their preference for NICOTINE over MUSCARINE. They are generally divided into muscle-type and neuronal-type (previously ganglionic) based on pharmacology, and subunit composition of the receptors.
