1 Tunicamycin (1 microgram/ml) induced a steady decrease of insulin binding, which was decreased by 50% after 13 h. As the total number of binding sites per hepatocyte was 20000, the rate of the receptor degradation could not exceed 13 sites/min per hepatocyte. Tunicamycin insulin Homo sapiens
2 First, the rate of release of degraded insulin into the medium was 600 molecules/min per hepatocyte with 1 nM labelled hormone, and increased (preincubation with cycloheximide) or decreased (tunicamycin) as a function of the amount of cell-bound insulin. Tunicamycin insulin Homo sapiens
