Surface membrane enzyme, chemotactic peptide binding activities, and chemotactic responsiveness of rabbit peripheral and peritoneal neutrophils. 1980

P K Tsung, and H J Showell, and E L Becker

The chymotrypsin-like esterase activity of plasma membrane and the ecto-5'nucleotidase and ecto-p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activities in peritoneal neutrophils are 2- and 3-fold higher than peripheral blood neutrophils. The binding of the chemotactic peptide, formyl norleucyl-leucyl-phenyl-alanine to peritoneal neutrophils is 6- to 7-fold higher than to peripheral blood neutrophils. The chemotactic responsiveness of peritoneal neutrophils to the chemotactic peptide is 5-fold greater than peripheral blood neutrophils. However, there was no significant difference in the chemotactic responsiveness to complement component C5a between the blood and peritoneal cells.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
