Recognition of covalent insulin-receptor complexes on viable adipocytes by anti-insulin antibodies. 1987

P Mucke, and C Diaconescu, and G Klotz, and P Jørgensen, and D Saunders, and D Brandenburg

Isolated rat adipocytes were photo-affinity-labelled with B2-(4-azido-2-nitrophenylacetyl)-des-PheB1-insulin or B29-(4-azido-2-nitrophenylacetyl)insulin. Four anti-insulin antibodies (3 monoclonal, 1 polyclonal) were tested for their ability to inhibit the persistent stimulation of lipogenesis caused by the covalently bound insulin [Brandenburg et al. (1980) Nature (London) 286, 821-822]. The polyclonal and 2 monoclonal antibodies, directed against the C-terminus of the B-chain, gave a significant depression, while one antibody, directed against the region A(8-10), was without effect. Under reversible conditions, without irradiation, all antibodies completely inhibited lipogenesis. For the polyclonal antibody this is shown in a dose-dependent way. It is concluded that the effective antibodies can recognize their epitope because it is accessible on the surface of the complex and does not represent part of the receptor-binding surface of insulin. This binding leads to interference with the generation and/or transmittance of the biological signal.

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.

D000273 Adipose Tissue Specialized connective tissue composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It is the site of stored FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. In mammals, there are two types of adipose tissue, the WHITE FAT and the BROWN FAT. Their relative distributions vary in different species with most adipose tissue being white.

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.
