Glycoprotein-associated amino acid transporters (gpaAT) are permease-related proteins that require heterodimerization to express their function. So far, four vertebrate gpaATs have been shown to associate with 4F2hc/CD98 for functional expression, whereas ...
The water permeability of ADH target epithelial cells is believed to be regulated by a cycle of exo-endocytosis of vesicles containing functional water channels. These vesicles were selectively labeled in intact frog urinary bladders with an impermeant flu ...
The exposure of CHO DG44 cells to an osmotic shock, after DNA uptake, results in a cellular volume decrease of approx. 55%. Repetitive osmotic shocks targeted different sub-populations of cells as was demonstrated using two different fluorescent reporter g ...
The mechanisms of water transport across the rabbit renal proximal convoluted tubule were approached by measuring osmotic permeabilities and solute reflection coefficients of the brush-border and the basolateral membranes. Plasma and intracellular membrane ...
In the rabbit nephron, the luminal membrane surface area of the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) is more than twice that of the proximal straight tubule (PST). What seemed to be an increase in histological specialization in solute and water transport is cu ...
All but one of the four major mechanisms of resistance to antimicrobial agents-inactivation of the drug, altered cell wall permeability or drug efflux, drug titration due to target overproduction, and alteration of the target by mutation-appear to be emplo ...
