Abstract:
:When rat hepatoma cells (R-Y121B) were incubated with insulin at 37 degrees C, concanavalin A increased insulin internalization into cells. When R-Y121B cells were first incubated with labeled insulin at 4 degrees C then with concanavalin A at various concentrations at 37 degrees C, the total cellular radioactivity was much higher at high lectin concentrations than at low lectin concentrations. This increase was not only due to an increase in insulin internalization into cells but also to an increase in insulin binding to cell surfaces. Concanavalin A can trap insulin on the insulin receptors - a "trapping" effect. It has been concluded that insulin and concanavalin A binding sites are very close to each other on the insulin receptors.
