A simple, sensitive, and specific radioreceptor assay for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in biological tissues

Inositol (1,4,5)P 3 (IP 3) receptors in rat cerebellar membranes have been used to develop a radioreceptor assay for endogenous IP 3. The assay is sensitive, detecting as little as 1 pmole IP 3 in a 0.5 ml volume. The receptor is highly selective for the 1,4,5-isomer of IP 3 so that assays can emplo...

Zusammenfassung:Inositol (1,4,5)P 3 (IP 3) receptors in rat cerebellar membranes have been used to develop a radioreceptor assay for endogenous IP 3. The assay is sensitive, detecting as little as 1 pmole IP 3 in a 0.5 ml volume. The receptor is highly selective for the 1,4,5-isomer of IP 3 so that assays can employ crude tissue extracts with no purification. Chromatographic analysis and selective enzymatic hydrolysis of IP 3 show that in crude tissue extracts only authentic IP 3 is detected. A hundred or more samples can be assayed in a day for endogenous IP 3.
