SummaryIsolated rat hepatocytes possess per cell 4,500 high-affinity binding sites for thrombin with a Kd of 30-40 pM, and 2.8 × 105 low-affinity sites with a Kd of 30 nM. These binding sites are highly specific for thrombin. Half-maximal binding of 125I-labelled thrombin is achieved after 3 min at 37¸ C and 7 min at 4¸ C. The reversibly bound fraction of the ligand dissociates according to a biexponential time course with the rate constants 1—2 × 10−2 s−1 and 3—4 × 10−4 s−1. Part of the tracer remains cell-associated even after prolonged incubation, but all cell-associated radioactivity migrates as intact thrombin upon sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The bound thrombin is minimally endocytosed as judged by the resistance to pH 3-treatment. Cell-associated radioactivity dissociated from the cells binds just aswell in a receptor assay as tracer incubated in a conditioned medium under the same conditions, indicating the absence of a quantitatively important receptor-mediated degradation ofthe ligand.

To minimize the number of animals used during experiments, it is important to choose the suitable enzyme according to the final goal. In our work, we demonstrated the superiority of collagenase IV in the maintenance of functional transmembrane receptor, thus the pharmacological activity, in isolated rat hepatocytes.
