Abstract: | Analysis of rat uterine cytosol for Tamoxifen binding reveals that the saturable binding sites are only partially inhibited by estradiol-17β. Partial thermal denaturation of the cytosol at 30° C for 2 h 30 allows the characterization of a high affinity (Kd = 3.3 × 10?9M) saturable Tamoxifen class of binding sites insensitive to estradiol-17β while remaining sensitive to the antiestrogens CI628 and Nafoxidine. The uterine concentration of these binding sites is lower in the uterus of immature or castrated animals, increases from metestrus to proestrus and reaches a peak on the day of estrus. |
