[5-hydroxytryptamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity in brain synaptosomal membrane preparations].
A serotonine-sensitive adenylate cyclase system has been observed in horse brain membrane preparations. In crude mitochondrial fraction two types of activation sites were characterized, the Ka being = 2 nM and 1 micrometer. In purified synaptosomal membranes, a single adenylate cyclase activation was observed corresponding to the highest apparent affinity (KD = 2nM). This activation site might be related to the high affinity binding site (KD = 2NM) were previously described in the same membrane preparations.

[High affinity binding of 5-hydroxytryptamine to some membrane preparations from cattle brain. Relationship to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)].
5 hydroxytryptamine binds to crude brain membrane preparations with two different affinities (KD = 1 to 2 X 10(-9) M for the highest, 1 to 2 X 10(-8) M for the lowest). LSD also binds with two affinities (KD = 3 to 4 X 10(-9) M and KD = 2 to 3 X 10(-8) M). Subcellular distribution of these sites shows that binding involves the two binding affinities in microsomal membranes but solely the high affinity binding sites are present in purified synaptosomal membranes. High affinity sites for 5 HT and for LSD are different as no direct competitive inhibition is observed in that case. On microsomal membranes, direct relationship occurs between low affinity binding for 5 HT and high affinity binding for LSD.
