Human serum proteins are found in significant density in the neuropil in brains of demented individuals. The functional significance of these abnormally distributed proteins has been unknown. We now report that alpha-globulin-enriched fractions of human serum decrease the specific binding of [3H]spiroperidol at its binding sites in postmortem human frontal cortex and caudate. The substances in this serum fraction apparently exert their effect by a direct action on the binding site. Since [3H]spiroperidol labels serotoninergic and dopaminergic among other neurotransmitter receptors, these results suggest that components of human serum inhibit the binding of ligands at neurotransmitter receptors.
在痴呆症患者大脑的神经毡中发现了高密度的人血清蛋白。这些异常分布蛋白的功能意义尚不清楚。我们现在报告,人血清中富含α-球蛋白的组分可降低[3H]螺哌啶醇在死后人类额叶皮质和尾状核中其结合位点的特异性结合。该血清组分中的物质显然通过对结合位点的直接作用发挥其效应。由于[3H]螺哌啶醇除了标记其他神经递质受体外还标记5-羟色胺能和多巴胺能受体,这些结果表明人血清成分可抑制神经递质受体处配体的结合。
