ABSTRACT Receptors for insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) have been compared in solubilized microsomal membranes from rat lung, brain, kidney, heart, epididymal and subcutaneous fat, ovary, testis and adrenals. Highest binding/μg protein was seen with testicular membranes. Receptors from all tissues showed high affinity for human IGF-II (mean association constant = 65 litres/nmol) and a high degree of specificity (mean IGF-I cross-reactivity 0·3%; no cross-reactivity with insulin). Affinity labelling followed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed binding was only to a type-II IGF receptor, with a major band seen at a molecular weight of about 230 000 in lung, brain, kidney and testis, and 240 000 in heart, fat and adrenal gland. All tissues showed broad or bimodal pH dependence of binding, with optima seen at about pH 6 and pH 9. Mild stimulation of IGF-II binding by low calcium concentrations (1–2 mmol/l) was seen in all tissues, although higher concentrations were inhibitory in the brain. It was concluded that IGF-II receptors from different rat tissues, when studied under uniform conditions, show similar binding affinities but differences in size and regulation which might be missed if receptors are examined in separate studies.
