dc.description.abstractA change in the environment of rat brain membranes by dialysis from phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to 10 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.2) led to a 35% loss in delta opioid receptor binding, while alteration of membrane structure on freezing at -20 degrees C for 55 days led to 85% loss of receptor binding. The dialysate, 200 mM KCI and NaCl restored receptor binding lost on dialysis. This K+ and Na+ restabilization of the receptor can be through cation-pi bonding, interactions that are suited to the lipid bilayer. In membranes stored at -20 degrees C, the loss of binding is attributed to increased membrane fluidity by phospholipase A2 action on membrane phospholipids, resulting in an increase of free fatty acids. K+ but not Na+ restabilization of these membrane receptors may be due to the ability of K+ to decrease membrane fluidity.en_US
