Taurine transport in renal brush-border-membrane vesicles.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Taurine transport in isolated brush-border-membrane vesicles from rat kidney is concentrative and it is driven by the Na+ gradient and transmembrane potential difference; binding is not a significant component of net uptake. The Na+-dependent component of net uptake is saturable with an apparent Km of 17 microM. The taurine-transport mechanism is selective for beta-amino compounds.

Na+ + Cl- -gradient-driven, high-affinity, uphill transport of taurine in human placental brush-border membrane vesicles.
Uptake of taurine in human placental brush-border membrane vesicles was greatly stimulated in the presence of an inwardly-directed Na+ + Cl- -gradient and uphill transport of taurine could be demonstrated under these conditions. Na+ as well as Cl- were obligatory for this uptake and both ion gradients could energize the uphill transport. This Na+ + Cl- -gradient-dependent taurine uptake was sti...
متن کاملEffect of acidosis on glutamine transport by isolated rat renal brush-border and basolateral-membrane vesicles.
Glutamine uptake was examined in isolated renal brush-border and basolateral-membrane vesicles from control and acidotic rats. In brush-border vesicles from acidotic animals, there was a significant increase in the initial rate of glutamine uptake compared with that in controls. Lowering the pH of the medium increased the initial rate of glutamine uptake in brush-border vesicles from acidotic, ...
متن کاملNa-dependent transport of S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine by renal brush-border membrane vesicles.
Cytotoxicity after exposure to the nephrotoxicant S-(1, 2-dichloro-vinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC) requires transport of this cysteine conjugate across the cell membrane. Although several basolateral transport pathways have been implicated in the uptake of this compound into renal proximal cells, the identity of the process or processes associated with transport across the luminal membrane is unclear....
متن کاملThe sodium electrochemical potential-mediated uphill transport of D-glucose in renal brush border membrane vesicles.
The uphill transport of D-glucose in renal brush border membrane vesicles was correlated with the Na+ electrochemical gradient. Each component of the electrochemical potential, the membrane potential (outside positive) or the Na+ chemical gradient, when assayed independently, supported the concentrative uptake of the sugar. When the two components were combined, the rates of D-glucose uptake we...
متن کاملTaurine uptake in apical membrane vesicles from the bovine retinal pigment epithelium.
Characteristics of taurine uptake were investigated in apical membrane vesicles isolated from bovine retinal pigment epithelium. Uptake of taurine into these vesicles was stimulated markedly by the presence of an inwardly directed NaCl gradient across the membrane. The time course of the NaCl gradient-dependent uptake showed an overshoot, indicating a transient accumulation of taurine in the ve...
