Abstract excerpt
In hydra the neuropeptide head activator (HA) is responsible for head-specific growth and differentiation processes. The effects of HA are mediated by high and low affinity receptors on hydra cells. In the current study HA receptors from a multi-headed mutant of Chlorohydra viridissima were solubilized from the membrane fraction using 1% Triton X-100 and 2.5 M urea. Scatchard analysis showed that the solubilized...
