Glucagon-sensitive adenylate cyclase [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1] activity was measured in nine different portions of the rat nephron. Each sample contained a single piece of tubule isolated by microdissection from collagenase-treated kidney tissue. As compared to basal activity, 1 microM porcine glucagon stimulated adenylate cyclase 60-fold in the medullary portion and 40-fold in the cortical portion of the thick ascending limb, 23-fold in the early distal convoluted tubule, 11-rold in the cortical collecting tubule, and 8-fold in the medullary collecting tubule. No stimulation was observed in proximaly tubules and thin segments of the loop of Henle. Half-maximal stimulations were obtained with about 10 nM glucagon in the responsive nephron portions.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007684 Kidney Tubules Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER.

D007685 Kidney Tubules, Collecting Straight tubes commencing in the radiate part of the kidney cortex where they receive the curved ends of the distal convoluted tubules. In the medulla the collecting tubules of each pyramid converge to join a central tube (duct of Bellini) which opens on the summit of the papilla.

D007686 Kidney Tubules, Distal The portion of renal tubule that begins from the enlarged segment of the ascending limb of the LOOP OF HENLE. It reenters the KIDNEY CORTEX and forms the convoluted segments of the distal tubule.

D005934 Glucagon A 29-amino acid pancreatic peptide derived from proglucagon which is also the precursor of intestinal GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDES. Glucagon is secreted by PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS and plays an important role in regulation of BLOOD GLUCOSE concentration, ketone metabolism, and several other biochemical and physiological processes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.
