  • Title: Occurrence and properties of a prostaglandin F2alpha receptor in bovine corpora lutea.
    Author: Powell WS, Hammarström S, Samuelsson B.
    Journal: Eur J Biochem; 1975 Aug 01; 56(1):73-7. PubMed ID: 240710.
    Abstract:
    Prostaglandin F2alpha was specifically bound by a particulate fraction from bovine corpora lutea. The rate constants for the association (7.5 X 10(3) M-1 S-1) and dissociation (2.1 X 10-4 S-1) reactions gave a dissociation constant of 2.8 X 10(-8) M which is similar to that determined from a Scatchard plot of binding data at equilibrium (5 X 10(-8) M). The receptor was stable for several hours at 23 degrees C but was rapidly destroyed at 37 degrees C. The pH optimum for the binding reaction was 6.3. The receptor had high specificity for prostaglandin F2alpha and had much lower affinities for other prostaglandins. Luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones had no effect on the prostaglandin F2alpha-receptor interaction.
