Polar redistribution of 125I-labelled insulin on the plasma membrane of cultured human lymphocytes. 1980

Cultured human lymphocytes of the IM-9 line have specific binding sites for 125I-insulin that have been characterized in detail. When the hormone--cell interaction was studied by quantitative electron microscopic (EM) autoradiography, it was shown that initial binding was to the plasma membrane and that at 37 degrees C a small fraction of the ligand was internalized by the cell. The internalized ligand was found preferentially localized in lysosomes in the Golgi region of the cell. It is well known that di- or multivalent ligands redistribute in the plane of the membrane before internalization. We now report that following initial binding the univalent ligand insulin also undergoes a polar redistribution ('capping') before internalization.

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).

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
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.
