| Abstract: | The human pancreatic cell line BxPC-3 displays two classes of binding sites with high and low affinity for VIP. The order of potency of VIP-related peptides in inhibiting either 125I]VIP or 125I]N-AcPACAP27 binding and in stimulating cAMP production was typical of the human VIP receptor. By combining affinity labeling with glycosidase treatments, we have characterized the VIP receptor as a Mr = 68,200 glycoprotein, consisting of a Mr = 39,300 polypeptide core with at least three N-linked oligosaccharide chains. In addition, our results revealed the presence of a low amount of sialic acid residues in the carbohydrate moiety of receptor. |
