Abstract
The imidazoline BL11282 stimulates insulin release and alters islet proteomes. Subcellular fractions of MIN6 cells showed that the membrane fraction exhibited binding to BL11282 on a Biacore chip and to BL11282-labelled magnetic beads. Bound material extracted from the beads showed a ∼50 kDa differential band upon SDS–PAGE and a weaker 100 kDa band. The former was sensitive to competitive removal by preincubation of the fraction with BL11282, then highlighting the ∼100 kDa band. Masspectrometric analysis revealed the ∼50 kDa band to be EF1A and the ∼100 kDa band to be glucose regulated P94, both of interest in insulin synthesis and secretion.
