Synaptic plasma membranes containing binding sites for tritiated oxytocin and arginine vasopressin were isolated from rat hippocampus. The binding parameters for oxytocin and vasopressin sites were determined and statistically analyzed. The fitted curve for oxytocin binding was compatible with a model where the ligand interacts with 2 classes of receptors with different capacities and affinities. The sites with low binding capacity had an apparent Kd at equilibrium of 1.8 nM and a maximal binding capacity of 17 fmol/mg protein. By contrast, the Scatchard plot failed to reveal a marked heterogeneity in the population of sites labeled with [3H]vasopressin with an affinity of 1.5 nM and a maximal binding capacity of 39 fmol/mg protein. The specificity of these binding sites, tested in competition experiments, revealed that these neurohypophyseal hormones labeled 2 distinct populations of sites. One population with a high affinity for vasopressin, oxytocin and vasotocin, the other population with a high affinity for vasopressin and vasotocin and a low affinity for oxytocin. Adenyalate cyclase activity was not affected by arginine-vasopressin or oxytocin. These receptors are compared with previously characterized peripheral receptors.
