Letter to the editor: "The origin of free glutamate in milk: a role for anionic amino acid transporters".
TO THE EDITOR: Matsumoto et al. (3) have reported that the lactating rat mammary gland maintains a large transepithelial L-glutamate concentration gradient in favor of milk and provide a model for the production of free L-glutamate in milk. They suggest that L-leucine is the major source of milk L-glutamate; it is envisaged that L-leucine is transported across the basolateral membrane of mammar...
متن کاملPeptide Transport and Metabolism by the Lactating Mammary Gland.
There has been considerable interest in the metabolism of small peptides by the lactating mammary gland since the discovery that plasma-derived peptides may be an important source of amino nitrogen for milk protein synthesis (1). The uptake of certain essential amino acids is less than their output in milk protein, and evidence suggests that the shortfall is made up from peptide-derived amino a...
متن کاملRetinol esterification by mammary gland microsomes from the lactating rat.
Because vitamin A in milk is largely present as esterified retinol while blood plasma predominantly contains unesterified retinol, experiments were conducted to determine whether membranes from the lactating mammary gland are able to synthesize retinyl esters in vitro. When microsomes from rats lactating for 7 to 14 days were incubated with [(3)H]retinol dispersed in dimethylsulfoxide, some [(3...
متن کاملCa2+ transport and Ca2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis by Golgi vesicles from lactating rat mammary glands.
Ca2+ transport across mammary-gland Golgi membranes was measured after centrifugation of the membrane vesicles through silicone oil. In the presence of 2.3 microM free Ca2+ the vesicles accumulated 5.8 nmol of Ca2+/mg of protein without added ATP, and this uptake was complete within 0.5 min. In the presence of 1 mM-ATP, Ca2+ was accumulated at a linear rate for 10 min after the precipitation of...
متن کاملLysine uptake by mammary gland tissue from lactating sows.
Kinetic properties and substrate specificity of the lysine transport system in porcine mammary gland were studied using mammary tissue explants from nine lactating sows. Sodium dependence of lysine uptake was determined by replacing sodium in the medium with choline. Kinetic parameters of lysine uptake were determined using lysine concentrations from 5 microM to 5.12 mM. Competition of lysine u...
