Specific binding of human corticosteroid-binding globulin to cell membranes.
Specific binding sites for corticosteroid-binding globulin were detected on membranes prepared from human prostates. The binding sites are typical of membrane receptors: they are saturable and specific and have high affinity. There was little specific binding at 4 degrees C and 23 degrees C. Maximal specific binding was obtained at 37 degrees C. Scatchard analysis revealed the presence of a sin...
متن کاملSpecific binding of proinsulin C-peptide to human cell membranes.
Recent reports have demonstrated beneficial effects of proinsulin C-peptide in the diabetic state, including improvements of kidney and nerve function. To examine the background to these effects, C-peptide binding to cell membranes has been studied by using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Measurements of ligand-membrane interactions at single-molecule detection sensitivity in 0.2-fl conf...
متن کاملN-glycans modulate the function of human corticosteroid-binding globulin.
Human corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), a heavily glycosylated protein containing six N-linked glycosylation sites, transports cortisol and other corticosteroids in blood circulation. Here, we investigate the biological importance of the N-glycans of CBG derived from human serum by performing a structural and functional characterization of CBG N-glycosylation. Liquid chromatography-tandem ...
متن کاملExpression of corticosteroid-binding globulin CBG in the human heart.
Glucocorticoids are known to be involved in myocardial regeneration and destruction. Cardiomyocytes are mostly devoid of nuclear glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) and it is generally assumed that effects of adrenal steroids in heart are mediated through the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). Here we used immunocytochemistry to study localization of corticosteroid binding globulin (CBG) in semithin s...
متن کاملGlycosylation of human corticosteroid-binding globulin at aspargine 238 is necessary for steroid binding.
Human corticosteroid binding-globulin (CBG) is a plasma glycoprotein that binds and regulates the biological activity of glucocorticoids and progesterone. Carbohydrates comprise approximately 25% of its molecular mass being represented by bi- and triantennary N-linked oligosaccharides of the N-acetyllactosamine type. To assess the impact of these carbohydrate chains on CBG production and steroi...
