[The characteristics of the estrogen-binding protein from the pancreas of female and male rats]. 1990

E G Kazanova, and A N Smirnov, and V B Rozen

Hormone-binding and some other physicochemical properties of an estrogen-binding protein (EBP) from the female and male rat pancreas in partially purified specimens were studied. Kinetic parameters of the hormone-protein interaction were found to be the same for males and females. However the concentration of binding sites for estradiol in females was higher than that in males. The female and male EBP exhibited nearly the same specificity for hormonal compounds except for some estrogens and androgens, whose competitive efficiency was higher in males. These sex differences were found not to be ascribed to diverse intensity of hormonal metabolism during incubation with male and female EBP specimens. The data obtained are suggestive of sex differentiation in the quantity and/or quality of low molecular "accessory" factor modifying EBP hormone-binding properties.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D011960 Receptors, Estrogen Cytoplasmic proteins that bind estrogens and migrate to the nucleus where they regulate DNA transcription.
