Description/Abstract | The binding of (/sup 125/I)secretin to rat brain membranes was investigated.^Radiolabeled secretin bound with high affinity (KD .^0.2 nM) to a single class of noninteracting sites.^Binding was specific, saturable, and reversible.^Regional distribution studies indicated that the specific binding was greatest in the cerebellum, intermediate in the cortex, thalamus, striatum, hippocampus, and hypothalamus, and lowest in the midbrain and medulla/pons.^Pharmacological studies indicated that only secretin, but not other peptides, inhibits binding of (/sup 125/I)secretin with high affinity.^Also, certain guanine nucleotides inhibited high affinity binding.^These data indicate that rat brain membranes possess high affinity binding sites specific for secretin and that with the use of (/sup 125/I) secretin the kinetics, stoichiometry, specificity, and distribution of secretin receptors can be directly investigated. |
