title: Purification of a putative Na+/D-glucose cotransporter from pig kidney brush border membranes on a phlorizin affinity column.
abstract: Phlorizin, a potent inhibitor of the Na+/D-glucose cotransporter, was derivatised to 3-aminophlorizin and subsequently coupled to Affi-Gel 15. Affinity chromatography of pig kidney brush border membranes solubilised in Triton X-100 allowed the purification of a 60 kDa protein on this resin. We consider this protein to be the Na+/D-glucose cotransporter, or part of it, for the following reasons: (i) binding of this protein to Affi-Gel 15 specifically requires phlorizin covalently attached to the resin and is lowered when phlorizin is replaced by phloretin; (ii) binding of the 60 kDa protein to a phlorizin affinity column requires the presence of Na+; (iii) polyclonal as well as monoclonal antibodies against the 60 kDa protein inhibit binding of phlorizin to brush border membranes from rabbit and pig kidney.
