UT cell membrane | [125I]hU-II Bmax at washout t= 0 (% vehicle) | Time for [125I]hU-II Bmax >90% vehicle |
---|---|---|
Rat UT (n= 2) | 5.2–38.3% | >1 h |
Monkey UT (n= 4) | 92.5 ± 5.2% | 0 h |
Human UT (n= 2) | 38.5–61.2% | <1 h |
All values are expressed as mean ± SEM, where n represents the number of individual experiments performed in duplicate. UT membranes were incubated with DMSO or 10 nM GSK1562590 for 30 min at 25°C following which the incubation mixtures were diluted, centrifuged and resuspended in buffer. Following resuspension, [125I]hU-II KD and Bmax values were determined (t= 0). A subset of membranes were ‘washed’ a second time at various times following the initial resuspension (t= 0.5, 1 or 2 h) to assess GSK1562590 binding reversibility (time for [125I]hU-II Bmax >90% vehicle). KD and Bmax values were determined by homologous competition binding whereby multiple concentrations of unlabelled hU-II were used to compete for binding with a fixed concentration of [125I]hU-II (Douglas et al., 2005). GSK1562590 did not alter the KD values for [125I]hU-II for any of the three UT orthologues studied.
