Abstract
The binding of salmon calcitonin was investigated in subcellular fractions obtained from normal porcine lung. Only the membrane fraction (density, 1.14 g/cm3) showed specific binding for calcitonin. Specific binding of 125I-labeled salmon calcitonin was competitively inhibited by concentrations of unlabeled homologous hormone in the range 0.01-1 nM. Half-maximal inhibition of binding was observed with 0.12 nM salmon calcitonin. Scatchard analysis of the data suggested the presence of one class of binding sites with a mean affinity constant of 0.9 X 10(10) M-1 and a mean receptor number of 40 X 10(8)/mg of protein. The binding of salmon calcitonin was highly specific; half-maximal inhibition of binding was observed with 63.8 nM bovine calcitonin, the hormone corticotropin having no effect in this system.
