The calcium uptake into renal brush border membrane vesicles, which has been purified from normal or vitamin B6 deficient rat renal cortex by calcium precipitation, was investigated. The values of Km and Vmax were determined to be 1.89 mM and 4.26 nmol of Ca2+/mg of protein per 20s in vitamin B6 deficient rats, respectively. This Vmax was lower than that of normal rats. The chemical compositions of renal brush border membranes did not display a difference in normal and vitamin B6 deficient rats. The amount of brush border membranes isolated from 1 gram of renal cortex in vitamin B6 deficient rats was less than in normal rats.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D026681 Vitamin B 6 Deficiency A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of VITAMIN B 6 in the diet, characterized by dermatitis, glossitis, cheilosis, and stomatitis. Marked deficiency causes irritability, weakness, depression, dizziness, peripheral neuropathy, and seizures. In infants and children typical manifestations are diarrhea, anemia, and seizures. Deficiency can be caused by certain medications, such as isoniazid.
