A radioimmunoassay (RIA) for the rat growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) was developed using a synthetic peptide (corresponding to the hydrophilic carboxyl-terminal sequence of mouse GHBP) as standard and a monoclonal antibody (MAb 4.3) reactive with this peptide as the primary antibody. The values for GHBP concentration obtained for normal rats using this assay compare favourably with those obtained by gel filtration and ELISA methods. The concentration of GHBP in normal male rats at 11 weeks of age (680 +/- 30 ng/ml, SEM, n = 9) was significantly less than the concentration in normal females (943 +/- 47 ng/ml, SEM, n = 25). In 11-week-old dwarf male rats the concentration of GHBP was 423 +/- 35 ng/ml (n = 8); less than in dwarf females (542 +/- 32, P < 0.05, n = 9) and normal males (680 +/- 30, P < 0.001, n = 9). The GHBP concentration in dwarf rats was not age-dependent, whereas in normal females the concentration of GHBP increased with age. The availability of an RIA which is not susceptible to interference by endogenous GH, will facilitate further studies on hormonal and nutritional regulation of the rat GHBP. The assay was applied to studying the effects of IGF-I infusion (240 micrograms/day for 1 week) and GH injection (65 micrograms/100 g body weight, twice daily for 1 week and 4 weeks) on the serum concentration of GHBP in 11-week-old Lewis dwarf rats. Hepatic GH binding sites were also measured in desaturated membranes from the same animals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007334 Insulin-Like Growth Factor I A well-characterized basic peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and to circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like, and mitogenic activities. This growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on GROWTH HORMONE. It is believed to be mainly active in adults in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR II, which is a major fetal growth factor.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.

D011986 Receptors, Somatotropin Cell surface proteins that bind GROWTH HORMONE with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Activation of growth hormone receptors regulates amino acid transport through cell membranes, RNA translation to protein, DNA transcription, and protein and amino acid catabolism in many cell types. Many of these effects are mediated indirectly through stimulation of the release of somatomedins.
