Abstract
Evidence is obtained for the presence of lipocortin-like proteins in human tracheal gland cells in culture. Using polyclonal antibodies to lipocortin I. indirect immunofluorescence studies demonstrate that lipocortin I is mainly confined to the tracheal gland cell surface. From cell membranes, four Ca 2+-dependent proteins (35, 40, 45 and 67 kDa) were identified as lipocortin related proteins by using immunoblotting and fluorography following [ 35S]methionine metabolic labeling experiments. A strong immunoreactivity for the 35 kDa protein was observed. In addition, lipocortinlike proteins with apparent M r33, 35, 37 and 67 kDa, respectively, were released in the apical culture medium by trachéal gland cells cultured on microporous membrane of a double chamber culture system.
