Intracellular localization of 125I-labeled insulin in hepatocytes from intact rat liver. 1979

J L Carpentier, and P Gorden, and P Barazzone, and P Freychet, and A Le Cam, and L Orci

We have shown that 125I-labeled insulin initially localizes to the plasma membrane of isolated rat hepatocytes. The ligand is subsequently internalized and preferentially localizes to lysosomal structures. Further, we have observed that labeled insulin localizes to regions of the cell rich in lysosomal and Golgi elements. In the present study in intact rat liver we found that, approximately 10 min after a pulse injection of 125I-labeled insulin, 56% of the label was internalized by the cell. When all grains are considered there is a preferential localization of grains to the biliary pole of the cell and these grains are almost all internalized and preferentially associated with lysosomes. These data, therefore, demonstrate that the lysosome-Golgi-rich area of the isolated hepatocyte corresponds to the biliary pole of the cell and there is a movement of the labeled hormone from its initial binding site on the plasma face of the cell membrane toward the biliary pole of the cell.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D011972 Receptor, Insulin A cell surface receptor for INSULIN. It comprises a tetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits which are derived from cleavage of a single precursor protein. The receptor contains an intrinsic TYROSINE KINASE domain that is located within the beta subunit. Activation of the receptor by INSULIN results in numerous metabolic changes including increased uptake of GLUCOSE into the liver, muscle, and ADIPOSE TISSUE.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
