To tell you the truth, we didn't.
Using only 7 or 8 points on the uptake curve is very tight for a two-site model, and we therefore prefered to wait for a more complete study (with more points). Yet, from your question I understan that its worth trying; as its an interesting point, we might go back to check it. Thanks.

>>Good question. The figure certainly don't rule out this possibility, especially in the TPA-treated cells.
>>To confirm the presence of a such complex uptake system one need to run many more points, possibly 12-14, and we could not do that. It was decided therefore not to conclude from these data anything regarding the kinetics of the uptake, except that TPA increased the uptake by 50-100%.
