Alpha2adrenergic receptors were solubilized from human platelet particulate preparations with digitonin. The solubilized alpha2receptors retained the essential binding specificity characteristics of the membrane-bound receptors. The alpha2receptors could be labelled in platelet membranes with either agonist ([3H]epinephrine) or antagonist ([3H]yohimbine) radioligands. When these membranes were solubilized with digitonin and centrifuged on sucrose density gradients, the sedimentation coefficient of the agonist-labelled receptor (14.6S) was greater than that of the antagonist-labelled receptor (12.9S). This observation may provide insight into the mechanism of adenylate cyclase inhibition by alpha2adrenergic receptors.
