An oxidation resistant radioligand for corticotropin-releasing factor receptors.
    Peptides, 2001, Volume: 22, Issue:7

    The methionine residues in Tyr-corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and Tyr-sauvagine radioligands are subject to oxidation, which renders them biologically inactive. Therefore [Tyr(0,) Gln(1,) Leu(17)]sauvagine (YQLS), in which the methionine was replaced with leucine was synthesized and labeled with (125)Iodine using chloramine-T. Mass spectroscopy revealed that chloramine-T-treatment did not oxidize YQLS. (125)I-YQLS bound with high affinity to cells expressing the murine CRF receptor 1 (CRFR1), CRF receptor 2 (CRFR2), and the mouse brain regions known to express both CRF receptors. (125)I-YQLS chemically cross-linked to CRFR1. In conclusion, (125)I-YQLS is oxidation-resistant, high affinity radioligand that can be chemically cross-linked to the CRF receptors.
