title: Active transport of benzo[a]pyrene in apical membrane vesicles from normal human intestinal epithelium.
abstract: Transport of the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene in apical membrane vesicles (AMV) from normal human intestine, was investigated. Benzo[a]pyrene transport was found in AMV throughout the small intestine, but was greatest in colon. Evidence suggesting involvement of P-Glycoprotein (P-Gp), included (1) comparable transport of P-Gp substrate doxorubicin, (2) transport stimulation by ATP and (3) transport suppression by the P-Gp inhibitor, verapamil.
