Abstract
A novel method to separate [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 and [3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3 in tissue extracts is described. It is based on the selective metabolism of Ins(1,3,4)P3 by a crude cerebral supernatant in a Mg2+-free buffer followed by separation of [3H]inositol trisphosphates using conventional anion-exchange chromatography. Evaluation of the assay was performed using [3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3 standards and tissue extracts containing different proportions of [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 and [3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3. Parallel h.p.l.c. separations of extracts established the selective and complete metabolism of [3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3 under the above conditions and demonstrated that the enzymic method provides an accurate estimate of the trisphosphate isomers in rat cerebral cortex, parotid gland and bovine tracheal smooth muscle.Entities:
