Uptake of proline by brushborder vesicles isolated from human kidney cortex.

Published

Journal Article

Proline transport into renal brushborder membrane vesicles isolated from human kidney is mediated by two uptake systems. The high-affinity system is stimulated by a Na gradient and appears to be shared with glycine while the low-affinity system is not. Uptake curves of low concentrations of proline exhibit a Na-gradient-dependent overshoot indicative of electrogenic transport. The proline transport systems observed in isolated human renal brushborder membrane vesicles appear to have characteristics similar to those in rat kidney membranes.
