Intestinal bile acid absorption is mediated by a sodium-dependent transporter located in the brush border apical membrane of ileocytes. The transmembrane topology and the role of individual amino acid residues in the bile acid transport process have been investigated by means of various experimental approaches, leading to multiple hypotheses. We raised a monoclonal antibody against a segment of the transporter comprising vicinal cysteine residues, in order to evaluate its functional role. A 14 amino acid peptide, corresponding to amino acids 104-117 of the transporter, was synthesized, and a monoclonal anti-peptide antibody was raised. In vitro uptake-inhibition studies in the presence of the monoclonal anti-peptide antibody were performed using ileal brush border membrane vesicles. Rabbit ileum was perfused in vivo with 5 mM taurocholic acid in the presence of the monoclonal antibody, and bile acid absorption inhibition was evaluated. The anti-peptide monoclonal antibody significantly reduced the in vitro uptake and in vivo absorption of taurocholic acid. The present data demonstrate the functional relevance of the 104-117 peptide segment and report the generation of a novel antibody against the apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) that may be used as a therapeutic agent in hypercholesterolemia and in cholestatic pruritus.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001647 Bile Acids and Salts Steroid acids and salts. The primary bile acids are derived from cholesterol in the liver and usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. The secondary bile acids are further modified by bacteria in the intestine. They play an important role in the digestion and absorption of fat. They have also been used pharmacologically, especially in the treatment of gallstones. Bile Acid,Bile Salt,Bile Salts,Bile Acids,Acid, Bile,Acids, Bile,Salt, Bile,Salts, Bile
D001692 Biological Transport The movement of materials (including biochemical substances and drugs) through a biological system at the cellular level. The transport can be across cell membranes and epithelial layers. It also can occur within intracellular compartments and extracellular compartments.

D027981 Symporters Membrane transporters that co-transport two or more dissimilar molecules in the same direction across a membrane. Usually the transport of one ion or molecule is against its electrochemical gradient and is "powered" by the movement of another ion or molecule with its electrochemical gradient.

D029363 Organic Anion Transporters, Sodium-Dependent A subclass of ORGANIC ANION TRANSPORTERS whose transport of organic anions is driven either directly or indirectly by a gradient of sodium ions. Organic Anion Transporters, Sodium Dependent
