M. Culea et al., STUDY OF AMINO-ACID TRANSMEMBRANAR TRANSPORT IN HUMAN RED-CELL AND RAT HEPATOCYTE, Journal of molecular structure, 348, 1995, pp. 377-380
A study of amino acid transmembranar transport in human red cells, usi
ng isotope dilution GC/MS technique, compared with radioisotopical tra
nsport measurements in rat hepatocyte is presented. A stable isotopica
lly labeled amino acid, N-15-glycine was used. Small influx was detect
ed for glycine in the two types of cells studied. Incubation of the ce
ll in the presence of some ingredients shows increased amino acid infl
ux.
