We have studied the effects of asialoorosomucoid (ASOR) on the hydrolysis of ({sup 32}P)-inositol phospholipids in isolated rat hepatocytes. When internalization of ASOR is maximal at 310 molecules/cell/sec, there is neither a decrease in the amount of ({sup 32}P)-phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP{sub 2}) not an increase in ({sup 32}P)-phosphatidic acid (PA) up to 30 min after stimulation. On the other hand, 10-{sup 6}M vasopressin, which was used as a positive control, caused a 35-40% decrease in the level of ({sup 32}P)-PIP{sub 2} and a 70-80% increase in ({sup 32}P)-PA within 30 sec. Addition of orosomucoid or ASOR, even at concentrations 1000-times the K{sub d}, did not change the levels of any of the six phospholipids tested. Similarly, addition of ASOR did not increase the levels of soluble ({sup 3}H)-inositol phosphates, whereas vasopressin caused a 6-fold increase in ({sup 3}H)-inositol-1,4-diphosphate (IP{sub 2}) and a 4-fold increase in ({sup 3}H)-inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate (IP{sub 3}) in isolated rat hepatocytes prelabeled with ({sup 3}H)-inositol.
