Chloride Transport in Porous Lipid Bilayer Membranes
This paper describes dissipative Cl(-) transport in "porous" lipid bilayer membranes, i.e., cholesterol-containing membranes exposed to 1-3 x 10(-7) M amphotericin B. P(DCl) (cm.s(-1)), the diffusional permeability coefficient for Cl(-), estimated from unidirectional (36)Cl(-) fluxes at zero volume flow, varied linearly with the membrane conductance (Gm, ohm(-1).cm(-2)) when the contributions o...
متن کاملCarbonic anhydrase inhibitors in corneal endothelial transport.
PURPOSE Carbonic anhydrases play a central buffering role in current models of fluid transport in corneal endothelium, but in humans, clinical use of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) for the management of glaucoma does not cause corneal swelling. This study compares species differences in response to CAIs in human versus bovine corneal endothelial transport. METHODS Short-circuit current ...
متن کاملSodium-coupled chloride transport by epithelial tissues.
There is compelling evidence that active Cl absorption by a variety of epithelia, widely distributed throughout the animal kingdom, is the result of an electrically neutral Na-coupled transport process at the luminal membrane and that the energy for transcellular Cl movement is derived from the Na gradient across that barrier. These co-transport processes are found predominantly in "leaky" or "...
متن کاملChloride-activated passive potassium transport in human erythrocytes.
Passive K+ transport in human erythrocytes (defined as ouabain-insensitive transport) was inhibited 70% by replacement of Cl- by several permeant monovalent anions. The Vmax of Cl--dependent K+ influx was 1.14 mmol . liter-1, hr-1; its apparent Km for K+ was 4.7 mM. There was a much smaller component of Na+ influx dependent on Cl- (Vmax, 0.23 mmol . liter-1 . hr-1). Furosemide and other inhibit...
متن کاملCeramide-mediated transport of chloride and bicarbonate across phospholipid membranes.
The sphingolipid, ceramide 1, facilitates transport of Cl(-) and HCO(3)(-) anions across lipid bilayers under conditions where large transmembrane pores are not formed. Ceramide's 1,3-diol unit is essential for both binding and transporting these anions.
