Sodium-dependent alanine transport in plasma-membrane vesicles from rat liver

J M van Amelsvoort et al. Biochem J. .

Abstract

L-Alanine transport was studied in plasma-membrane vesicles from rat liver. A gradient of NaSCN, but not of KSCN, stimulated alanine uptake. Monensin plus carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone abolished the observed overshoot in uptake. After equilibration of alanine, NaSCN induced uphill transport.
