Pharmacological Characterization of Inositol 1,4,5-tris Phosphate Receptors in Human Platelet Membranes

Table 2

Displacement of [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding by inositol phosphates and heparin in human platelet membranes. Platelet membranes were prepared as described in Section 2. The assay medium (100  L) contained 20 nM [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 with various concentrations of competitive substances and approximately 100  g of protein. Incubations were carried out at 4°C for 10 minutes. IC50 values were calculated by using log probit analysis. The values are the mean S.E.M. of three different experiments.
