精氨酸加压素(AVP)的C端内片段,AVP(4-8),具有增强记忆的功能,它在大鼠脑内引发一系列的生理和生化变化。GTP-结合调节蛋白(G蛋白)介导多数神经肽和神经调质的细胞内生理生化反应。放射性受体结合实验显示,在海马突触膜上存在AVP(4-8)的特异性结合位点。AVP(4-8)在海马突触膜上的结合能够进一步刺激GTPγS结合并可被AVP(4-8)的受体拮抗剂ZDC(C)PR所逆转。从以上实验结果可以认为AVP(4-8)是通过海马突触膜上的G蛋白偶联受体来发挥其神经调质作用的。
AVP (4-8), a C-terminal fragment of arginine vasopressin (AVP), has a memory-enhancing function that triggers a series of physiological and biochemical changes in the rat brain. GTP-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) mediate the intracellular physiological and biochemical reactions of most neuropeptides and neuromodulators. Radioactive receptor binding experiments show that there is a specific binding site for AVP (4-8) on the hippocampal synaptic membrane. Binding of AVP (4-8) to the hippocampal synaptic membrane further stimulated GTPγS binding and was reversed by the receptor antagonist ZDC (C) PR of AVP (4-8). From the above experimental results, it is considered that AVP (4-8) exerts its neuromodulatory effect through a G protein-coupled receptor on the hippocampal synaptic membrane.
