Abstract

Serum contains a polypeptide with insulin-like activity not suppressible by insulin antibodies (NSILA). A large-scale isolation procedure for NSILA is described, starting from an acid ethanol extract of a Cohn fraction (precipitate B) obtained from human plasma. Two homogenous polypeptides with insulin-like and cell-growth promoting activities could be isolated by gel filtration, ion exchange chromatography, and preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Both components are slightly basic polypeptides with a minimal molecular weight of 5800 +/- 400. Both are single-chain molecules with two intrachain disulfide bridges each and no free sulfhydryl groups. NSILA I and II differ, however, in their amino acid compositions. The N-terminal amino acid sequences are Gly-Pro-Glu- in NSILA I, and Ala-Tyr-Arg- and Tyr-Arg- in NSILA II. Both NSILA I and II enhance net gas exchange in adipose tissue with a specific activity 60 times lower than that of insulin. In the range of 1-50 ng/ml, both substances stimulate [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA of chick embryo fibroblasts. The same effect can be obtained with insulin but only at concentrations 50-100 times higher than those of NSILA. These results suggest that NSILA I and II are two forms of an insulin-like hormone with predominating effects on cell and tissue growth parameters.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
