Based on this: Is this binding site a receptor? Why? (Already answered this graph, I just need to know this question)

The list below contains numbers from a cortisol-binding assay for liver cell cytosolic preparations. The amount of 3H-cortisol bound versus the amount of hormone added (free H cortisol) was determined with and without 100-fold excess unlabeled cortisol. Total Binding - Without excess unlabeled cortisol Non-specific binding - With excess unlabeled cortisol Specific Binding H-cortisol H-cortisol H-cortisol bound 100 200 400 800 1100 1200 1300 added 200 400 800 1600 2400 3200 4000 added 200 400 800 1600 2400 3200 4000 bound bound 20 50 100 160 250 350 added 200 400 800 1600 2400 3200 4000 0
