[Influence of darkness on insulin binding in the unicellular algae Acetabularia mediterranea]

|January 1, 1975
Abstract:
Culture of Acetabularia in darkness increases the number of membrane receptor sites to insulin. This increase has not been observed with anucleated parts of algae. It may be concluded that induction of insulin receptor sites depends on the presence of the cell nucleus.
