Different binding proteins for folic acid in serum of patients with acute hepatitis. 1980

R Corrocher, and L M Bambara, and M L Pachor, and A M Stanzial, and D Biasi

Serum from 44 volunteers and 21 patients with acute hepatitis and 18 with cirrhosis were tested for the total and unsaturated folate binding capacity (TFBC-UFBC). A high level of TFBC was noted in acute hepatitis (p < 0.001) and in cirrhosis (p < 0.05), whereas only in the last case a reduced UFBC was present (p < 0.05). When serum from patients with acute hepatitis was eluted on Sephadex G-200 after incubation with radio-active folic acid (500 pg), two main peaks were observed, one in the exclusion peak of protein and the second in the position of the only binder found in normal serum (MW 43,000). A third small peak was also present in the position corresponding to a MW of 20,000. These findings documented the release of binders from hepatic cell when a massive necrosis of liver occurs.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D002845 Chromatography Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts. Chromatographies

D005492 Folic Acid A member of the vitamin B family that stimulates the hematopoietic system. It is present in the liver and kidney and is found in mushrooms, spinach, yeast, green leaves, and grasses (POACEAE). Folic acid is used in the treatment and prevention of folate deficiencies and megaloblastic anemia.
