(a) Chemical structure of S5A1. (b) S5A1 is a high-affinity ligand of SSTR5. Binding of [3H]-S5A1 to membranes expressing human SSTR5 was quantified using an SPA. [3H]-S5A1 binding to membranes was measured in the absence (total) or presence of an unlabeled competitor to determine nonspecific binding. S5A1 bound with a Kd of 260 pM, specific binding was >90%, and the maximum number if binding sites was 25 pmol/mg of protein. Data plotted are a representative experiment from three that were conducted.
