Effect of inorganic anions on p-amino[3H]hippurate transport in renal basolateral membranes has been studied using the vesicles preloaded with unlabeled p-aminohippurate (countertransport condition). The uptake of p-amino[3H]hippurate was stimulated by the outward gradient of unlabeled p-aminohippurate and the labeled substrate was accumulated into the vesicles against its concentration gradient in the presence of Cl-. The substitution of SCN- and SO4(2-) for Cl- in both sides of the vesicles depressed the initial rate and the overshoot magnitude of p-amino[3H]hippurate uptake. These results suggest that Cl- may play an important role for the carrier-mediated transport system of organic anion in renal basolateral membranes. 相似文献

Carrier-mediated transport systems of tetraethylammonium in rat renal brush-border and basolateral membrane vesicles 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Transport of [3H]tetraethylammonium, an organic cation, has been studied in brush-border and basolateral membrane vesicles isolated from rat kidney cortex. Some characteristics of carrier-mediated transport for tetraethylammonium were demonstrated in brush-border and basolateral membrane vesicles; the uptake was saturable, was stimulated by the countertransport effect, and showed discontinuity in an Arrhenius plot. In brush-border membrane vesicles, the presence of an H+ gradient ( [H+]i greater than [H+]o) induced a marked stimulation of tetraethylammonium uptake against its concentration gradient (overshoot phenomenon), and this concentrative uptake was completely inhibited by HgCl2. In contrast, the uptake of tetraethylammonium by basolateral membrane vesicles was unaffected by an H+ gradient. Tetraethylammonium uptake by basolateral membrane vesicles was significantly stimulated by a valinomycin-induced inside-negative membrane potential, while no effect of membrane potential was observed in brush-border membrane vesicles. These results suggest that tetraethylammonium transport across brush-border membranes is driven by an H+ gradient via an electroneutral H+-tetraethylammonium antiport system, and that tetraethylammonium is transported across basolateral membranes via a carrier-mediated system and this process is stimulated by an inside-negative membrane potential. 相似文献

The driving forces for taurocholate transport were determined in highly purified canalicular (cLPM) and basolateral rat liver plasma membrane (LPM) vesicles. Alanine transport was also examined for comparison. Inwardly directed Na+ but not K+ gradients transiently stimulated [3H]taurocholate (1 microM) and [3H]alanine (0.2 mM) uptake into basolateral LPM 3-4- fold above their respective equilibrium values (overshoots). Na+ also stimulated [3H]taurocholate countertransport and tracer exchange in basolateral LPM whereas valinomycin-induced inside negative K+ diffusion potentials stimulated alanine uptake but had no effect on taurocholate uptake. In contrast, in the "right-side out" oriented cLPM vesicles, [3H]taurocholate countertransport and tracer exchange were not dependent on Na+. Efflux of [3H]taurocholate from cLPM was also independent of Na+ and could be trans-stimulated by extra-vesicular taurocholate. Furthermore, an inside negative valinomycin-mediated K+ diffusion potential inhibited taurocholate uptake into and stimulated taurocholate efflux from the cLPM vesicles. These studies provide direct evidence for a "carrier mediated" and potential-sensitive conductive pathway for the canalicular excretion of taurocholate. In addition, they confirm the presence of a possibly electroneutral Na+-taurocholate cotransport system in basolateral membranes of the hepatocyte. 相似文献

The multiple indicator dilution technique (Goresky and Bach) is critically evaluated and its application to the isolated, hemoglobin-free perfused rat liver is described. From the results of pulse labelling experiments using indicator substances for the total aqueous space of the liver ([3H]water and [14C]urea) an for the extracellular space ([14C]sucrose, [3H]-inulin and [3H]dextrane), it is concluded that the mathematical model of the liver in situ according to Goresky and Bach is sufficient to also describe the hemodynamics of the isolated liver perfused with a saline solution. The data indicate that the multiple indicator dilution technique in combination with the available mathematical basis is applicable to the study of transport across the liver cell membrane. The method, however, is restricted to compounds which are metabolized very slowly, such as D-lactate. A possible extension of this method to metabolic processes is discussed in view of pulse labelling experiments with [3H]-and [1-14C]L-lactate. Since the involvement of metabolism in the available mathematical model is not differentiated and the release of products is not taken into consideration, the method in its present state is not applicable to studies of metabolism. Moreover, even the parameters of transport derived by this technique are of limited value, when the transported compounds are rapidly metabolized by reversible reactions. Despite these uncertainties, the present data indicate that the transport of L-lactate is ten times faster than that of D-lactate. 相似文献

In previous studies it was shown that hepatocellular uptake of fatty acids is mediated by a specific fatty acid binding membrane protein. To determine now directly the driving forces for their entry into hepatocytes, the uptake of a representative long chain fatty acid, [3H]oleate, by basolateral rat liver plasma membrane vesicles was examined. Influx of oleate was stimulated by increasing the Na+ concentration of the medium. In the presence of an inwardly directed Na+ gradient (NaSCN, NaNO3, NaCl) oleate was accumulated during the initial uptake phase (20 s) at a concentration of 1.4-1.9-fold that at equilibrium (overshoot). This activation of influx was not observed after replacement of Na+ by Li+, K+, or choline+. Na+-dependent oleate uptake was significantly stimulated by creation of a negative intravesicular potential, either by altering the accompanying anions or by valinomycin-induced K+ diffusion potentials, suggesting an electrogenic transport mechanism. Na+-dependent fatty acid uptake was temperature dependent, with maximal overshoots occurring at 37 degrees C, and revealed saturation kinetics with a Km of 83.1 nM and Vmax of 2.9 nmol X min-1 X mg protein-1. These studies demonstrate that the carrier-mediated hepatocellular uptake of fatty acids represents an active potential-sensitive Na+-fatty acid cotransport system. 相似文献

1. D-glucose transport across the intestinal brush-border membrane of the cat, a carnivorous animal, was investigated using isolated brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV). Kinetic experiments were performed under zero-trans conditions (initial [Na+]in and [Gluc]in = O) with the transmembrane electrical potential difference clamped to zero. 2. D-glucose uptake by the BBMV was strongly stimulated by an inwardly directed Na+-gradient. Uptake under Na+-free conditions seemed to occur by simple diffusion. 3. The apparent kinetic constants (Vmax, Km) of Na+-dependent D-glucose transport were computed by forcing initial uptake rates at 0.002-10.0 mmol/l D-glucose to either a Michaelis-Menten type equation with a single or with two carrier-mediated components. 4. Best fit of the experimental data was obtained with the two-component model indicating the existence of two Na+-dependent carrier-mediated mechanisms. System 1 and system 2 differ with respect to the transport velocity as well as the substrate affinity constants with Vmax being 2.5-fold and Km being 5-fold higher for system 1 compared with system 2. 相似文献

The mechanism of HCO3- translocation across the proximal tubule basolateral membrane was investigated by testing for Na+-HCO3- cotransport using isolated membrane vesicles purified from rat renal cortex. As indicated by 22Na+ uptake, imposing an inwardly directed HCO3- concentration gradient induced the transient concentrative accumulation of intravesicular Na+. The stimulation of basolateral membrane vesicle Na+ uptake was specifically HCO3(-)-dependent as only basolateral membrane-independent Na+ uptake was stimulated by an imposed hydroxyl gradient in the absence of HCO3-. No evidence for Na+-HCO3- cotransport was detected in brush border membrane vesicles. Charging the vesicle interior positive stimulated net intravesicular Na+ accumulation in the absence of other driving forces via a HCO3(-)-dependent pathway indicating the flow of negative charge accompanies the Na+-HCO3- cotransport event. Among the anion transport inhibitors tested, 4-4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid demonstrated the strongest inhibitor potency at 1 mM. The Na+-coupled transport inhibitor harmaline also markedly inhibited HCO3- gradient-driven Na+ influx. A role for carbonic anhydrase in the mechanism of Na+-HCO3- cotransport is suggested by the modest inhibition of HCO3- gradient driven Na+ influx caused by acetazolamide. The imposition of Cl- concentration gradients had a marked effect on HCO3- gradient-driven Na+ influx which was furosemide-sensitive and consistent with the operation of a Na+-HCO3- for Cl- exchange mechanism. The results of this study provide evidence for an electrogenic Na+-HCO3- cotransporter in basolateral but not microvillar membrane vesicles isolated from rat kidney cortex. The possible existence of an additional basolateral membrane HCO3(-)-translocating pathway mediating Na+-HCO3- for Cl- exchange is suggested. 相似文献

Evidence for an organic cation-proton antiport system in brush-border membranes isolated from the human term placenta 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Uptake of guanidine, an endogenous organic cation, into brush-border membrane vesicles isolated from human term placentas was investigated. Initial uptake rates were manyfold greater in the presence of an outward-directed H+ gradient ([pH]o greater than [pH]i) than in the absence of a H+ gradient ([pH]o = [pH]i). Guanidine was transiently accumulated inside the vesicles against a concentration gradient in the presence of the H+ gradient. The H+ gradient-dependent stimulation of guanidine uptake was not due to a H+-diffusion potential because an ionophore (valinomycin or carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone)-induced inside-negative membrane potential failed to stimulate the uptake. In addition, uphill transport of guanidine could be demonstrated even in voltage-clamped membrane vesicles. The H+ gradient-dependent uptake of guanidine was inhibited by many exogenous as well as endogenous organic cations (cis-inhibition) but not by cationic amino acids. The presence of unlabeled guanidine inside the vesicles stimulated the uptake of labeled guanidine (trans-stimulation). These data provide evidence for the presence of an organic cation-proton antiporter in human placental brush-border membranes. Kinetic analysis of guanidine uptake demonstrated that the uptake occurred via two saturable, carrier-mediated transport systems, one being a high affinity, low capacity type and the other a low affinity, high capacity type. Studies on the effects of various cations on the organic cation-proton antiporter and the Na+-H+ exchanger revealed that these two transport systems are distinct. 相似文献

Basolateral plasma membrane vesicles were prepared from rat liver by a new technique using self-generating Percoll gradients. The method is rapid (total spin time of 2.5 h) and protein yields were high (0.64 mg/g of liver). Transmission electron microscopy studies and measurements of marker enzyme activities indicated that the preparation was highly enriched in basolateral membranes and substantially free of contamination by canalicular membranes or subcellular organelles. High total recoveries for protein yield and marker enzyme activities during the fractionation procedure indicated that enzymatic activity was neither lost (inactivation) nor increased (activation). Thus, the pattern of marker enzyme activities found in the membrane preparation truly reflected substantial enrichment in membranes from the basolateral surface. Analysis of freeze-fracture electron micrographs suggested that approximately 75% of the vesicles were oriented "right-side-out." In order to assess the functional properties of the vesicles, the uptake of [3H]taurocholate was studied. In the presence of a Na+ gradient, taurocholate uptake was markedly stimulated and the bile acid was transiently accumulated at a concentration 1.5- to 2-fold higher than that at equilibrium ("overshoot"). In the absence of a gradient but in the presence of equimolar Na+ inside and outside of the vesicle, taurocholate uptake was faster than in the absence of Na+. These findings support a direct co-transport mechanism for the uptake of taurocholate and Na+. Kinetic studies demonstrated that Na+-dependent taurocholate uptake was saturable with a Km of 36.5 microM and a Vmax of 5.36 nmol mg-1 protein min-1. The high yield, enzymatic profile and retention of transport properties suggest that this membrane preparation is well suited for studies of basolateral transport. 相似文献

The driving forces for L-glutamate transport were determined in purified canalicular (cLPM) and basolateral (i.e. sinusoidal and lateral; blLPM) rat liver plasma membrane vesicles. Initial rates of L-glutamate uptake in cLPM vesicles were stimulated by a Na+ gradient (Na+o greater than Na+i), but not by a K+ gradient. Stimulation of L-glutamate uptake was specific for Na+, temperature sensitive, and independent of nonspecific binding. Sodium-dependent L-glutamate uptake into cLPM vesicles exhibited saturation kinetics with an apparent Km of 24 microM, and a Vmax of 21 pmol/mg X min at an extravesicular sodium concentration of 100 mM. Specific anionic amino acids inhibited L-[3H]glutamate uptake and accelerated the exchange diffusion of L-[3H]glutamate. An outwardly directed K+ gradient (K+i greater than K+o) further increased the Na+ gradient (Na+o greater than Na+i)-dependent uptake of L-glutamate in cLPM vesicles, resulting in a transient accumulation of L-glutamate above equilibrium values (overshoot). The K+ effect had an absolute requirement for Na+. In contrast, in blLPM the initial rates of L-glutamate uptake were only minimally stimulated by a Na+ gradient, an effect that could be accounted for by contamination of the blLPM vesicles with cLPM vesicles. These results indicate that hepatic Na+ gradient-dependent transport of L-glutamate occurs at the canalicular domain of the plasma membrane, whereas transport of L-glutamate across sinusoidal membranes results mainly from passive diffusion. These findings provide an explanation for the apparent discrepancy between the ability of various in vitro liver preparations to transport glutamate and suggest that a canalicular glutamate transport system may serve to reabsorb this amino acid from bile. 相似文献

Inside-out basolateral plasma membrane vesicles from rat kidney proximal tubular cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A method for preparation of highly purified basolateral plasma membranes from rat kidney proximal tubular cells is reported. These membranes were assayed for the presence of vesicles as well as for their orientation. (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity and [3H]ouabain binding studies with membranes treated with or without SDS revealed that the preparation consisted of almost 100% vesicles. The percentage of inside-out vesicles was found to be approx. 70%. This percentage was determined measuring the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity in K+-loaded vesicles and in membranes treated with or without trypsin and SDS. These membranes represent a very efficient tool to assay the correlation between active transport and ATPase activities in basolateral plasma membranes from rat kidney proximal tubular cells. 相似文献

Na+ dependent [3H]glutamine uptake was found in liposomes reconstituted with solubilized rat kidney brush border in the presence of intraliposomal K+. The reconstituted system was optimised with respect to the critical parameters of the cyclic detergent removal procedure, i.e., the detergent used for the solubilization, the protein concentration, the detergent/phospholipid ratio and the number of passages through a single Amberlite column. Time dependent [3H]glutamine accumulation in proteoliposomes occurred only in the presence of external Na+ and internal K+. The transporter showed low if there is any tolerance towards the substitution of Na+ or K+ for other cations. Valinomycin strongly stimulated the transport indicating that it is electrogenic. Intraliposomal glutamine had no effect. From the dependence of the transport rate on the Na+ concentration cooperativity index close to 1 was derived, indicating that 1 Na+ should be involved in the cotransport with glutamine. The electrogenicity of the transport originated from the Na+ transport. Optimal rate of 0.1 mM [3H]glutamine uptake was found in the presence of 50 mM intraliposomal K-gluconate. At higher K-gluconate concentrations the transport rate decreased. The activity of the reconstituted transporter was pH dependent with optimal function in the range pH 6.5-7.0. [3H]glutamine (and [3H]leucine) uptake was inhibited by all the neutral but not by the positively or negatively charged amino acids. The sulfhydryl reagents HgCl2, mersalyl, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate and the substrate analogue 2-aminobicyclo[2,2,1]heptane-2-carboxylate strongly inhibited the transporter, whereas the amino acid analogue alpha-(methylamino)isobutyrate had no effect. The inhibition by mersalyl was protected by the presence of the substrate. On the basis of the Na+ dependence, the electrogenic transport mode and the specificity towards the amino acids, the reconstituted transporter was classified as B degrees-like. 相似文献

The serotonergic system may play a role during general anesthesia but the effect of the volatile anesthetic halothane on the release of serotonin (5-HT) is not fully understood. Rat brain cortical slices were labeled with [3H]5-HT to investigate the effects of halothane on the release of this neurotransmitter from the central nervous system. Halothane induced an increase on the release of [3H]5-HT that was dependent on incubation time and anesthetic concentration (0.006, 0.012, 0.024, 0.036, 0.048 and 0.072 mM). This effect was independent of extracellular calcium and was not affected by tetrodotoxin (blocker of voltage dependent Na+ channels). In contrast, the halothane-evoked [3H]5-HT release was reduced by BAPTA-AM, a membrane-permeable BAPTA analog that chelates intracellular Ca2+. The anesthetic-induced [3H]5-HT release depends on the ryanodine-sensitive intracellular calcium store since it was blocked by dantrolene and azumolene (inhibitors of the calcium-release through ryanodine receptors) but was not affected by aminoethoxydiphenylborate (2-APB), an inhibitor of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor. The [3H]5-HT release induced by halothane comes mainly from the vesicular pool since it was reduced in about 70% by reserpine, a blocker of vesicular monoamine transporter. The halothane-evoked release of [3H]5-HT release is reduced by fluoxetine, an inhibitor of 5-HT uptake, and the volatile agent also decreased the uptake of [3H]5-HT into rat brain cortical slices. Moreover, a decrease on halothane-induced release of [3H]5-HT was also observed when the brain cortical slices were incubated at low temperature, which is known to interfere with the carrier-mediated release of the neurotransmitter. Ouabain, a Na+/K+ ATPase pump inhibitor, which induces 5-HT release through reverse transport, also decreased [3H]5-HT release induced by halothane, confirming the involvement of a carrier-mediated release of the neurotransmitter in the presence of halothane. In conclusion, these data suggest that halothane induces vesicular and carrier-mediated release of [3H]5-HT in rat brain cortical slices. 相似文献

Basolateral membrane vesicles were isolated from the rat kidney cortex by a modified method of cation precipitation. Different steps of preparation were analysed using the marker enzymes: Na+,K+-ATPase (for basolateral membrane), alkaline phosphatase (for apical membrane), glucose-6-phosphatase (for membranes of endoplasmic reticulum) and succinate dehydrogenase (for mitochondria). The basolateral membrane was purified by a 8-9-fold treatment with Na+,K+-ATPase, while other membrane contaminations were as low as 2% (as compared to homogenate). The transport of 3H-p-aminohippurate (3H-PAH) by basolateral membrane vesicles was measured under different experimental conditions. The 3H-PAH uptake was found to be Na-gradient dependent. The initial rate of 3H-PAH uptake in the presence of NaCl gradient (500 pM/mg X min) was higher than without the gradient (88 pM/mg X min). It is concluded that the PAH transfer across the basolateral membrane may be energized by the Na+ chemical gradient. 相似文献

The transport of cimetidine by rat renal brush border and basolateral membrane vesicles has been studied in relation to the transport system of organic cation. Cimetidine inhibited [3H]tetraethylammonium uptake by basolateral membrane vesicles in a dose dependent manner, and the degree of the inhibition was almost the same as that by unlabeled tetraethylammonium. In contrast, cimetidine inhibited the active transport of [3H]tetraethylammonium by brush border membrane vesicles more strongly than unlabeled tetraethylammonium did. In agreement with the transport mechanism of tetraethylammonium in brush border membranes, the presence of an H+ gradient ([H+]i greater than [H+]o) induced a marked stimulation of cimetidine uptake against its concentration gradient (overshoot phenomenon), and this concentrative uptake was inhibited by unlabeled tetraethylammonium. These results suggest that cimetidine can share common carrier transport systems with tetraethylammonium in renal brush border and basolateral membranes, and that cimetidine transport across brush border membranes is driven by an H+ gradient via an H+-organic cation antiport system. 相似文献

The uptake of L-phenylalanine into brush border microvilli vesicles and basolateral plasma membrane vesicles isolated from rat kidney cortex by differential centrifugation and free flow electrophoresis was investigated using filtration techniques. Brush border microvilli but not basolateral plasma membrane vesicles take up L-phenylalanine by an Na+-dependent, saturable transport system. The apparent affinity of the transport system for L-phenylalanine is 6.1 mM at 100 mM Na+ and for Na+ 13mM at 1 mM L-phenylalanine. Reduction of the Na+ concentration reduces the apparent affinity of the transport system for L-phenylalanine but does not alter the maximum velocity. In the presence of an electrochemical potential difference of Na+ across the membrane (etaNao greater than etaNai) the brush border microvilli accumulate transiently L-phenylalanine over the concentration in the incubation medium (overshoot pheomenon). This overshoot and the initial rate of uptake are markedly increased when the intravesicular space is rendered electrically more negative by membrane diffusion potentials induced by the use of highly permeant anions, of valinomycin in the presence of an outwardly directed K+ gradient and of carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone in the presence of an outward-directed proton gradient. These results indicate that the entry of L-phenylalanine across the brush border membrane into the proximal tubular epithelial cells involves cotransport with Na+ and is dependent on the concentration difference of the amino acid, on the concentration difference of Na+ and on the electrical potential difference. The exit of L-phenylalanine across the basolateral plasma membranes is Na+-independent and probably involves facilitated diffusion. 相似文献

The transport of dipeptides and beta-lactam antibiotics across the rat renal basolateral membrane was examined. The initial uptake of glycylsarcosine and cefadroxil by rat renal basolateral membrane vesicles was inhibited by the presence of all the di- and tripeptides and beta-lactam antibiotics that were tested in this study. However, the uptake of both substrates was not inhibited by glycine, an amino acid. The initial uptake of zwitterionic beta-lactam antibiotics, cefadroxil, cephradine, and cephalexin, was stimulated by preloaded glycylsarcosine (countertransport effect). On the other hand, the uptake of dianionic beta-lactam antibiotics, ceftibuten and cefixime, was not affected. A concentration-dependent initial uptake of glycylsarcosine and cefadroxil suggested the existence of a carrier-mediated mechanism, whereas the transport of ceftibuten did not show any saturated uptake. The transporter that participates in the permeation of dipeptides and beta-lactam antibiotics across basolateral membranes showed lower affinity than did PEPT1 and PEPT2. This is the first study that showed an evidence for a peptide transporter, expressed in the rat renal basolateral membrane, that recognizes zwitterionic beta-lactam antibiotics using basolateral membrane vesicles isolated from normal rat kidney. 相似文献

Human embryonic kidney 293 cells stably transfected with the rat plasmalemmal serotonin transporter (rSERT) were incubated with 5-[3H]hydroxytryptamine ([3H]5-HT) and superfused. Substrates of the rSERT, such as p-chloroamphetamine (PCA) or methylenedioxymethamphetamine, concentration-dependently increased basal efflux of [3H]5-HT. 5-HT reuptake blockers (e.g., imipramine, citalopram) also caused an enhancement of [3H]5-HT efflux, reaching about half the maximal effect of the rSERT substrates. In uptake experiments, both groups of substances concentration-dependently inhibited 5-HT uptake. EC50 values obtained in superfusion experiments significantly correlated with IC50 values from uptake studies (r2 = 0.92). Addition of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase inhibitor ouabain (100 microM) to or the omission of K+ from the superfusion buffer accelerated basal efflux. The effect of PCA (10 microM) was markedly enhanced by both measures, whereas the effect of uptake inhibitors remained unchanged. When [3H]MPP+, a substrate with low affinity for the rSERT, was used instead of [3H]5-HT for labeling the cells, uptake inhibitors failed to augment efflux. By contrast, PCA accelerated [3H]MPP+ efflux, and its effect was strongly enhanced in the presence of ouabain. The results suggest that the [3H]5-HT efflux caused by substrates of rSERT is carrier-mediated, whereas efflux induced by uptake inhibitors is a consequence of interrupted high-affinity reuptake that is ongoing even under superfusion conditions. 相似文献

The characteristics of the intestinal transport system for choline were investigated using isolated brush-border membrane vesicles from rat small intestine. In spite of the diminutive lipid solubility, the uptake of choline by membrane vesicles reflected smooth permeation into intravesicular space rather than the binding to the membrane surface. Physiological conditions, present in the intact intestine, such as an inward-directed Na+ or H+ gradient and inside negative membrane potentials, didn't directly involve in choline transport across the brush-border membrane. Moreover, an outward-directed H+ gradient had no significant effect on the time course of choline transport. However, in the absence of a driving-force, the initial uptake of choline exhibited a saturable manner. A kinetic analysis of the initial uptake rate gave an apparent Km of 159 microM. Furthermore, unlabeled choline caused both cis-inhibition and trans-stimulation for labeled choline transport, suggesting the existence of a carrier-mediated transport system for choline, classified as so-called 'facilitated diffusion'. Since tetramethylammonium, acetylcholine, and N1-methylnicotinamide caused both cis-inhibition and trans-stimulation, they appear to be accepted as the substrate of choline carrier. On the other hand, quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) such as those which possessed hydrophobic parts in their molecules exhibited only cis-inhibition. They also inhibited Na(+)-dependent D-glucose transport, indicating that they influenced various carrier-mediated transport systems non-specifically due to interaction with the membrane. These findings strongly suggest that the choline transport system on the brush-border membrane of rat intestine recognizes only small molecular QACs as its substrate. 相似文献
