Abstract: | Collagenase-isolated rat hepatocytes were treated with dispase II, a neutral proteolytic enzyme which is often used for the disintegration of neonatal cells. The treatment of hepatocytes with dispase II caused a significant reduction of glucagon binding to the intact cells. The deleterious effect of this enzyme on the specific glucagon binding sites is accompanied by a reduction of the maximum intracellular cyclic AMP production. |
