Variable receptor affinity and tissue sensitivity.
Vascular smooth muscle sensitivity to norepinephrine (NE), measured by contractile responses in vitro, varied in different arteries of the rabbit and also in the same vessels in other species. There was a good correlation between variation in the affinity of NE for the alpha 1-adrenoceptor and tissue sensitivity. The variation was continuous and probably not indicative of different receptor subtypes. Solubilization of alpha 1-adrenoceptors from the membrane changed the affinity for specific ligands while reconstitution restored it. Taken together, these results suggest the presence of a factor(s) within the receptor microenvironment capable of modulating affinity and hence tissue sensitivity to NE. In some blood vessels, receptor number was correlated significantly with affinity of the alpha 1-adrenoceptor for NE also. In general, the contribution of receptor number was considerably less than the affinity for NE.
