  • Title: Prostaglandin F2alpha specific binding in equine corpora lutea.
    Author: Kimball FA, Wyngarden LJ.
    Journal: Prostaglandins; 1977 Mar; 13(3):553-64. PubMed ID: 557809.
    Abstract:
    Preliminary studies indicate the presence of PGF2alpha specific binding sites in membrane fractions prepared from equine corpora lutea. The equilibrium binding data indicate an apparent dissociation constant of 3.2 X 10(-9)M and the concentration of binding sites of -0.1 pmoles/mg membrane protein. Competition of several natural prostaglandins for equine luteal PGF2alpha specific binding sites indicates specificity for the 9alpha-hydroxyl moiety and the 5,6-cis doublebond. Significant increases in relative binding affinities were demonstrated for PGF2alpha analogs with a phenyl ring introduced at carbons 16 or 17. Specific PGF2alpha binding was demonstrated in corpora lutea collected at known stages of the estrous cycle. There was no pattern in these values based on the stage of the cycle. While specific 3H-PGE1 binding could be demonstrated, no high affinity sites could be quantitated. 3H-PGE1 binding appeared unaffected by changes in temperature or time of incubation, whereas PGF2alpha specific binding was significantly modified by both these factors.
