Radiation inactivation was used to determine the molecular target size of the binding site for [3H]GR65630, a specific 5-HT3 receptor ligand, in two different neuronal tissues. Using a calibration curve of known molecular weight enzymes, the target sizes of [3H]GR65630 binding sites in N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells and rat brain were 98,600 +/- 11,300 and 49,100 +/- 8,500 Da, respectively. The results suggest 5-HT3 receptors may be present as dimers in N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells.
