TABLE 4. Binding properties of OS2 and its mutants to M-type and N-type receptors.
Competition binding assays between iodinated OS2 and unlabeled mutants or chimeras were performed on recombinant M-type receptor or N-type receptors from mouse brain membranes and Hela P4 cell lysates. The K0.5 value is defined as the concentration of sPLA2 competitor which inhibits 50% of the specific binding. K0.5 values are representative of at least three independent experiments with SEM values lower than 30%.
