Glucagon-(19-29), a Ca2+ pump inhibitory peptide, is processed from glucagon in the rat liver plasma membrane by a thiol endopeptidase.
Glucagon-(19-29) is 1000-fold more potent that glucagon as an inhibitor of the liver plasma membrane calcium pump, which suggests that this peptide fragment is naturally occurring. Since glucagon-(19-29) is undetectable in plasma, the processing of glucagon into its (19-29) fragment may occur upon interaction of glucagon with its target tissues. The use of a specific radioimmunoassay for glucag...
متن کاملCompartmentalization of phosphatidylethanolamine in microsomal membranes from rat liver.
Microsomal membranes from rat liver were treated with the cross-linking reagent 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DFDNB). Experimental work showed that at a probe concentration of 0.75 mM all free phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS) were found as dinitrophenyl derivatives: 29% of PE was in monomeric form, 9% dimeric, 2% interacted with PS, and 63% cross-linked to protein. P...
متن کاملPermeability of Microsomal Membranes Isolated from Rat Liver
Water compartments, permeability, and the possible active translocation of various substances in rat liver microsomes were studied by using radioactive compounds and ultracentrifugation. The total water of the microsomal pellet, 3.4 microl/mg dry weight, is the sum of water in the extramicrosomal and intramicrosomal spaces, or 56 and 44%, respectively. Sucrose space accounts for 77% of the intr...
متن کاملNuclear Membranes from Mammalian Liver
The qualitative and quantitative lipid composition of nuclei and nuclear membranes from pig and rat liver were determined. These determinations were compared with the corresponding data obtained for microsomes from the same material after similar treatments. The results indicate that, at least, by far the major part of the nuclear lipids is located in the membranes of the nuclear envelope. The ...
متن کاملGlucagon binding and adenylate cyclase activity in liver membranes from untreated and insulin-treated diabetic rats.
To investigate the role of hepatic glucagon receptors in the hypersensitivity to glucagon observed in insulin-deprived diabetics, liver plasma membranes were prepared from control rats and from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats some of whom were treated with high-dose and low-dose insulin. The untreated diabetic animals exhibited hyperglycemia, weight loss, hypoinsulinemia, and hyperglucagon...
