Serum-dependent regulation of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid uptake in bovine granulosa cells. 1979

W R Allen, and M Nilsen-Hamilton, and R T Hamilton, and D Gospodarowicz

The removal of serum from the medium of ovarian granulosa cells in exponential or confluent stages of growth results in a rapid and pronounced decrease in the rate of transport of the non-metabolizable amino acid, alpha-aminoisobutyric acid. This decrease is rapidly and completely reversed by the addition of serum. The decrease and its reversal are insensitive to inhibitors of RNA and protein syntheisis and are unaffected by a number of other metabolic inhibitors. The serum requirement cannot be replaced by peptide hormones known to stimulate cell division and secretion by these cells. These data are consistent with a model of post-translational control of AIB transport by a high-molecular-weight component of serum.

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).

D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D005260 Female Females
D006107 Granulosa Cells Supporting cells for the developing female gamete in the OVARY. They are derived from the coelomic epithelial cells of the gonadal ridge. Granulosa cells form a single layer around the OOCYTE in the primordial ovarian follicle and advance to form a multilayered cumulus oophorus surrounding the OVUM in the Graafian follicle. The major functions of granulosa cells include the production of steroids and LH receptors (RECEPTORS, LH). Cell, Granulosa,Cells, Granulosa,Granulosa Cell
