Phloretin-induced changes in ion transport across lipid bilayer membranes
Phloretin, the aglucone derivative of phlorizin, increases cation conductance and decreases anion conductance in lipid bilayer membranes. In this paper we present evidence that phloretin acts almost exclusively by altering the permeability of the membrane interior and not by modifying the partition of the permanent species between the membrane and the bulk aqueous phases. We base our conclusion...
متن کاملSugar transport across the hepatocyte plasma membrane.
Physiologically D-glucose transport across the hepatocyte plasma membrane differs from that in most other cells. Most cells in the body extract glucose from the blood as a source of energy or carbon. The liver on the other hand responds to its environment and acts as a 'glucostat'. As the level of glucose in the blood rises, i.e. during feeding, the liver must take it up and store it as glycoge...
متن کاملIon channels in Arabidopsis plasma membrane : transport characteristics and involvement in light-induced voltage changes.
White light (25 watts per square meter) induced an increase in plasma membrane K(+)-channel activity and a 30- to 70-millivolt transient membrane depolarization (completed in 2-3 minutes) in Arabidopsis thaliana leaf mesophyll cells. Transport characteristics of three types of ion channels in the plasma membrane were determined using inside-out patches. With 220 millimolar K(+) on the cytoplasm...
متن کاملModels of Ion Transport in Mammalian Cells
Cardiomyocytes, neurons, hepatocytes and erythrocytes are considered based on the algorithm ‘‘one ion—one transport system’’ models of some mammalian cells. Models of the compartments of mammalian cells, e.g., synaptic vesicles, sarcoand endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, are built; and models for the regulation of ion transport in mammalian cells and their compartments are presented. We f...
متن کاملDirect transport across the plasma membrane of mammalian cells of Leishmania HASPB as revealed by a CHO export mutant.
Leishmania HASPB is a lipoprotein that is exported to the extracellular space from both Leishmania parasites and mammalian cells via an unconventional secretory pathway. Exported HASPB remains anchored in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane mediated by myristate and palmitate residues covalently attached to the N-terminal SH4 domain of HASPB. HASPB targeting to the plasma membrane depends ...
