标题:DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAGNESIUM AND MANGANESE IONS IN MODIFICATION OF EFFECT OF CATECHOLAMINE ON ADENYLATE CYCLASE SYSTEM IN EHRLICH ASCITES TUMOR CELLS
摘要:Involvement of divalent cations was examined in the activation of catecholaminesensitive adenylate cyclase in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. In the presence of various concentrations of either Mg2+ or Mn2+, both basal and norepinephrine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities were measured. Both activities were gradually increased with the increase in Mg2+ concentration. On the other hand, with Mn2+, both activities were maximum at the low (2.5mM) concentration, and decreased at the higher concentrations, the decrease being marked in the norepinephrine-stimulated activity. Similar difference between the two divalent cations was also observed in the effect on the binding of the β-adrenergic ligand to the membrane receptor.
