Non-selective cation channels in basolateral-membrane vesicles from pars recta of rabbit kidney proximal tubule.

چکیده
The characteristics of 86Rb+ fluxes through conductive channels in basolateral-membrane vesicles isolated from pars recta of rabbit kidney proximal tubule were investigated. In RbCl-, KCl- and NaCl-loaded vesicles a transient and almost equal accumulation of 86Rb+ was observed. The uptakes of 86Rb+ were inhibited to the same extent by 10 mM-BaCl2 in all loadings. The accumulation was driven by an electrical diffusion potential. The 86Rb+ flux was dependent on intravesicular Ca2+. Increasing concentrations of Ca2+ gradually decreased the 86Rb+ uptake. At 10 microM-Ca2+ the radioisotope flux was below 20% of control. The vesicles containing the channel showed very low selectivity among the univalent cations K+, Rb+, Li+, Na+ and choline+.

Renal transport of monocarboxylic acids. Heterogeneity of lactate-transport systems along the proximal tubule.
The characteristics of D- and L-lactate transport in luminal-membrane vesicles derived from whole cortex, from the pars convoluta and from the pars recta of rabbit kidney proximal tubule were studied. It was found that uptake of both isomers in vesicles from whole cortex occurred by means of dual electrogenic transport systems, namely a low-affinity system and a high-affinity system. Uptake of ...

The coupling ratio for the transport of beta-alanine and Na+, H+ and Cl- in luminal membrane vesicles isolated from proximal convoluted tubules (pars convoluta) and proximal straight tubules (pars recta) of rabbit kidney was examined. Indirect evidence indicates that 1 H+ and approx. 2 Na+, 1 Cl- (Na(+)-dependent, high-affinity) or 1 Na+ (Na(+)-dependent, low-affinity) are co-transported with b...

Uptake of L-proline, hydroxy-L-proline and 5-oxo-L-proline by luminal-membrane vesicles isolated either from whole cortex or from pars convoluta or pars recta of proximal tubules was studied by a spectrophotometric method. Uptake of L-proline and hydroxy-L-proline by vesicles from whole cortex was mediated by both Na+dependent and Na+-independent, but electrogenic, processes, whereas transport ...

The characteristics of L-alanine transport in luminal-membrane vesicles isolated either from whole cortex or from pars convoluta or pars recta of rabbit proximal tubules were studied by a rapid filtration technique and by a spectrophotometric method. Uptake of L-alanine by vesicles from whole cortex was mediated by both Na+-dependent and Na+-independent, but electrogenic, processes. The nature,...

The distribution and properties of the peptide-transport system in rabbit renal proximal tubule was examined with glycylsarcosine as the substrate and using brush-border-membrane vesicles derived from pars convoluta (outer cortex) and pars recta (outer medulla). The dipeptide was transported into these vesicles against a concentration gradient in the presence of an inward-directed H+ gradient, ...
