The binding of biologically active [3H]propionyl-NPY to rabbit aortic membranes was specific and saturable. Scatchard analysis indicated a single class of binding sites with a Kd of 1.1 nM. The rank order of potencies for displacement of [3H]propionyl-NPY binding by NPY analogs in the aorta correlated with their potencies in displacing binding in brain and their activity in inhibiting contractions of the field-stimulated rat vas deferens. However, differences were noted in the absolute or relative potencies of other related polypeptides both in regards to aorta compared to brain NPY binding and NPY binding compared to activity in the vas deferens. Collectively, the results support proposals for heterogeneity of NPY receptors.
