The existence of specific binding sites by using tritiated 1-O-alkyl-2-O-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (3H-PAF) was investigated on iris and ciliary body tissue of pigmented rabbit eyes. The binding was saturable, specific, time-dependent and reversible. Scatchard's analysis indicated the presence of two types of binding sites with a Kd1 4.90 +/- 0.47 nM, a Kd2 11.60 +/- 0.33 nM, a Bmax1 3.17 +/- 0.50 pmol/mg protein and a Bmax2 12.45 +/- 2.30 pmol/mg protein for iris tissue, and a Kd1 5.71 +/- 0.09 nM, a K2d 24.40 +/- 0.91 nM, a Bmax1 3.41 +/- 1.00 pmol/mg protein and a Bmax2 16.60 +/- 0.51 pmol/mg protein for ciliary body. The binding was fully displaced by unlabelled PAF in both iris and ciliary body preparations, and partially inhibited by the PAF antagonist BN 52021 in iris tissue.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007498 Iris The most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior. It consists of two layers - the stroma and the pigmented epithelium. Color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007783 Lactones Cyclic esters of hydroxy carboxylic acids, containing a 1-oxacycloalkan-2-one structure. Large cyclic lactones of over a dozen atoms are MACROLIDES. Lactone

D010972 Platelet Activating Factor A phospholipid derivative formed by PLATELETS; BASOPHILS; NEUTROPHILS; MONOCYTES; and MACROPHAGES. It is a potent platelet aggregating agent and inducer of systemic anaphylactic symptoms, including HYPOTENSION; THROMBOCYTOPENIA; NEUTROPENIA; and BRONCHOCONSTRICTION.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D002924 Ciliary Body A ring of tissue extending from the scleral spur to the ora serrata of the RETINA. It consists of the uveal portion and the epithelial portion. The ciliary muscle is in the uveal portion and the ciliary processes are in the epithelial portion.
