Pleiotropic Functions of the Organic Solute Transporter Ost-Ost

The heteromeric organic solute transporter alpha-beta (Ost -Ost ) is expressed at relatively high levels on the basolateral membrane of enterocytes, where it plays a critical role in the intestinal absorption of bile acids and the enterohepatic circulation. However, this transporter is also expressed in nearly all human tissues, including those that are not normally thought to be involved in bi...

On the ost of using

OST alpha-OST beta: a key membrane transporter of bile acids and conjugated steroids.

The organic solute and steroid transporter, Ost alpha-Ost beta, is an unusual heteromeric carrier that appears to play a central role in the transport of bile acids, conjugated steroids, and structurally-related molecules across the basolateral membrane of many epithelial cells. The transporter's substrate specificity, transport mechanism, tissue distribution, subcellular localization, transcri...

Vom Leben der Gewebe

claimed his attentions (although he was personal physician to Jefferson, Madison and Monroe), and he was really the ideal person to direct a medical school which was intended by Jefferson to impart fundamentals of medicine to students who would later proceed to hospitals further north for their clinical experience. From Virginia, Dunglison went by invitation to Baltimore in 1833 (his reputation...

On Feferman's operational set theory OST

We study OST and some of its most important extensions primarily from a proof-theoretic perspective, determine their consistency strengths by exhibiting equivalent systems in the realm of traditional set theory and introduce a new and interesting extension of OST which is conservative over ZFC.
