A single class of high affinity endothelin-1 (ET-1) binding sites with an apparent Kd of 350 pM and a binding capacity of 69,000 sites/cell was found in isolated rat adipocytes. Whereas ET-1 had no effect on basal glucose uptake, it inhibited insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in both a dose- and time-dependent manner. Insulin binding, however, was not altered. Thus, the present study demonstrates the presence of ET-1 receptor in isolated rat adipocytes and the inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake by ET-1 via a post-receptor mechanism.

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.

D001667 Binding, Competitive The interaction of two or more substrates or ligands with the same binding site. The displacement of one by the other is used in quantitative and selective affinity measurements. Competitive Binding
D016232 Endothelins 21-Amino-acid peptides produced by vascular endothelial cells and functioning as potent vasoconstrictors. The endothelin family consists of three members, ENDOTHELIN-1; ENDOTHELIN-2; and ENDOTHELIN-3. All three peptides contain 21 amino acids, but vary in amino acid composition. The three peptides produce vasoconstrictor and pressor responses in various parts of the body. However, the quantitative profiles of the pharmacological activities are considerably different among the three isopeptides.
