The characteristics of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) receptors where studied in rat retinal particulate preparations. Specific /sup 125/I-ANF binding to retinal particulate preparations was greater than 90% of total binding and saturable at a density (B/sub max/) of 40 /plus minus/ 8 fmol/mg protein with an apparent dissociation constant (K/sub d/)/sup /minus// of 6.0 /plus minus/ 2.0 pM (n=3). Apparent equilibrium conditions were established within 30 min. The K/sub d/ value of /sup 125/I-ANF binding calculated by kinetic analysis was 4.0 pM. The B/sub max/ of 60 /plus minus/ 10 fmol/mg protein and the K/sub d/ of 5 /plus minus/ 2 pM, calculated by competition analysis, were in close agreement with the values obtained from Scatchard plots or kinetic analysis. The /sup 125/I-ANF binding to retinal particulate preparations was not inhibited by 1 ..mu..M concentration of somatostatin, vasopressin, vasoactive intestinal peptide, adrenocorticotropin, tyrotropin releasing hormone, or leu-enkephalin. The rank order of potency of the unlabeled atrial natriuretic peptides for competing with specific /sup 125/I-ANF (101-126) binding sites was rANF (92-126) > rANF (101-126) > rANF (99-126) > rANF (103-126) > Tyr-Atriopeptin I > hANF (105-126) > rANF (1-126). Similar results have been obtained in peripheral tissues and mammalian brain.
