title: 1-O-n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside as a competitive inhibitor of Na+-dependent D-glucose cotransporter in the small intestine brush-border membrane.
abstract: 1-O-n-Octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside is a competitive inhibitor of the Na+-dependent D-glucose uptake into rabbit, rat and human intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles. The lack of effect on the equilibrium uptake demonstrates that the detergent does not act by rupturing the vesicles; no membrane leakiness was apparent at the concentrations of octylglucopyranoside used, since D-glucose uptake is not inhibited even in the absence of the Na+ gradient (in K+ solution). There is a competitive interaction between octylglucopyranoside and D-glucose, as shown by Dixon and by Hunter and Down plots. The selectivity of the detergent effect is confirmed by its modest influence on amino acid uptake.
