[Glycine uptake in brush border vesicles isolated from the rat intestinal cells].
The uptake of glycine in osmotically active brush border membrane vesicles (obtained by the Mg++ precipitation method) has been studied and a partial characterization of its transport system has been established. The glycine uptake in these vesicles was stimulated by the presence of sodium and in the presence of an inwardly directed Na+ -gradient glycine was accumulated inside the vesicles. The effect of Na+ was specific; other monovalent cation as Li+, K+, Rb+ and choline were uneffective in the stimulation of glycine uptake, under the same experimental conditions. Preliminary experiments show an important role of some anions on the glycine uptake. A strong inhibition in the uptake rate was found when the measurements were carried out in the presence of sodium cyclamate, while in the presence of NaSCN the measured uptake values were similar to those observed in the presence of NaCl.
