Purification of histamine receptor (VI). An improved double labeling method with "double protection". 1977

M Uchida

Studies were done on the specific labeling of the histaminergic H1-receptor of the longitudinal smooth muscle of cat small intestine. A procedure involving 'double protection' combined with the double labeling technique was developed. The first protection was the usual with a protective antihistamine, promethazine, and the second was cross protection of non-specific sites with non-hitaminergic drugs, thioriazine and atropine. Muscle tissue protected with promethazine against non-radioactive dibenamine was treated with 3H-dibenamine in the presence of these second protectors. The second protectors covered non-receptor sites which had been protected from non-radioactive dibenamine with promethazine. The dose-response curves were carefully checked in each experiment to confirm that the second protectors did not interfere with the specific coverage provided by the first protector. Finally 14C-dibenamine was applied to measure non-specific binding after which the labeled muscles were fractionated and the radioactivity was counted. The specificity of labeling achieved in the receptor-rich fraction by this method is discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009130	Muscle, Smooth	Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D011398	Promethazine	A phenothiazine derivative with histamine H1-blocking, antimuscarinic, and sedative properties. It is used as an antiallergic, in pruritus, for motion sickness and sedation, and also in animals.

D011968	Receptors, Histamine	Cell-surface proteins that bind histamine and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Histamine receptors are widespread in the central nervous system and in peripheral tissues. Three types have been recognized and designated H1, H2, and H3. They differ in pharmacology, distribution, and mode of action.	Histamine Binding Sites,Histamine Receptors,Histamine Receptor,Binding Sites, Histamine,Receptor, Histamine,Sites, Histamine Binding
D011969	Receptors, Histamine H1	A class of histamine receptors discriminated by their pharmacology and mode of action. Most histamine H1 receptors operate through the inositol phosphate/diacylglycerol second messenger system. Among the many responses mediated by these receptors are smooth muscle contraction, increased vascular permeability, hormone release, and cerebral glyconeogenesis.

D002415	Cats	The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
