Expression cloning and functional characterization of the kidney cortex high-affinity proton-coupled peptide transporter.
The presence of a proton-coupled electrogenic high-affinity peptide transporter in the apical membrane of tubular cells has been demonstrated by microperfusion studies and by use of brush border membrane vesicles. The transporter mediates tubular uptake of filtered di- and tripeptides and aminocephalosporin antibiotics. We have used expression cloning in Xenopus laevis oocytes for identificatio...
متن کاملCloning and functional characterization of the proton-coupled electrogenic folate transporter and analysis of its expression in retinal cell types.
PURPOSE In a prior study the cellular uptake of folate was investigated in the retina. Recently, a new proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT) in human intestine was reported. In the present study, the expression of this novel transporter in the retina was determined, the mouse orthologue was cloned from retinal tissue, and its transport function was characterized. METHODS RT-PCR and folate ...
متن کاملCloning and functional identification of slc5a12 as a sodium-coupled low-affinity transporter for monocarboxylates (SMCT2).
We report in the present paper, on the isolation and functional characterization of slc5a12, the twelfth member of the SLC5 gene family, from mouse kidney. The slc5a12 cDNA codes for a protein of 619 amino acids. Heterologous expression of slc5a12 cDNA in mammalian cells induces Na+-dependent transport of lactate and nicotinate. Several other short-chain monocarboxylates compete with nicotinate...
متن کاملCloning and Functional characterization of the promoter of a high affinity potassium transporter gene from Eucalyptus grandis
The characterization of organ/tissue-specific promoters is of great interest to transgenic production. The construction of expression cassettes containing tissue-specific promoters is a viable alternative to limited transgene expression to specific organs and cell types. In this context, the purpose of this study was to functionally characterize the promoter of a Eucalyptus grandis gene encodin...
متن کاملthe effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test
in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...
