| Abstract: | - 1.1. Gastric mucosal calcium channel complex was isolated from the solubilized epithelial cell membranes by affinity chromatography on wheat germ agglutinin.
- 2.2. The complex following labeling with [3H]PN200-110 was reconstituted into phosphatidylcholine vesicles which exhibited active 45Ca2+ uptake into intravesicular space as evidenced by La3+ displacement and osmolarity measurements. The 45Ca2+ uptake was independent of sodium and potassium gradients indicating the electroneutral nature of the process.
- 3.3. The gastric mucosal channels on epidermal growth factor binding in the presence of ATP responded by an increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation of 55 and 170 kDa subunits of calcium channel.
- 4.4. The phosphorylated channels following reconstitution into vesicles displayed at 48% greater 45Ca2+ uptake, thus indicating the tyrosine kinase involvement in EGF dependent activation of calcium channel.
- 5.5. The results point towards the importance of epidermal growth factor in the maintenance of gastric mucosal calcium homeostasis.
