Cyclo (His-Pro), a metabolite of thyrotropin-releasing hormone: specific binding to rat liver membranes. 1986

M Mori, and M Yamada, and M Yamaguchi, and M Suzuki, and K Ohshima, and I Kobayashi, and S Kobayashi

[3H]cyclo(His-Pro) bound with high affinity (59 nM) to a single class of sites in rat liver plasma membranes, without significant tracer degradation during equilibration for 60 min at 0 degrees C. Binding was specific and saturable (3.9 pmol/mg protein), and were increased by the addition of K+, Mg++ and Na+ at optimal concentrations, but not of Ca++ at all concentrations tested. In vivo administration of cyclo(His-Pro), but not thyrotropin-releasing hormone, to rats caused the downregulation of cyclo(His-Pro)-binding sites with decreases in specific binding numbers but did not change binding affinity.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
