Apical plasma membrane vesicles were prepared from human organ donor colon mucosal scrapings. These vesicles were enriched 10-fold in cysteine-sensitive alkaline phosphatase activity compared to starting homogenates, and showed minimal contamination of microsomal, mitochondrial or basolateral membranes. Transport studies using [22Na] uptake into proximal colonic vesicles demonstrated Na+ and H+ conductances, Na+/H+ exchange and amiloride inhibition of Na+ uptake. The isolation of these apical vesicles will permit detailed study of human colonic transport processes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D011522 Protons Stable elementary particles having the smallest known positive charge, found in the nuclei of all elements. The proton mass is less than that of a neutron. A proton is the nucleus of the light hydrogen atom, i.e., the hydrogen ion. Hydrogen Ions,Hydrogen Ion,Ion, Hydrogen,Ions, Hydrogen,Proton

D000584 Amiloride A pyrazine compound inhibiting SODIUM reabsorption through SODIUM CHANNELS in renal EPITHELIAL CELLS. This inhibition creates a negative potential in the luminal membranes of principal cells, located in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct. Negative potential reduces secretion of potassium and hydrogen ions. Amiloride is used in conjunction with DIURETICS to spare POTASSIUM loss.
