Studies of Fe3+ transport across isolated intestinal brush-border membrane of the mouse

Studies of Fe3+ transport across isolated intestinal brush-border membrane of the mouse

R J Simpson et al. Biochim Biophys Acta. .

Abstract

Mouse intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles take up iron from media containing 59Fe3 +-nitrilotriacetic acid. The iron uptake by the vesicles represents accumulation of iron which relates to an osmotically active space. Uptake is linearly related to vesicle protein concentration and is inhibited by low incubation temperature and low medium free Fe3+ concentrations. Experiments with the lipid soluble iron ligand 8-hydroxyquinoline and with Triton X-100 imply that the uptake is rate limited by membrane transport.
