The transport of glycine was studied in cultured human fibroblasts. The amino acid entered the cell by Na+-dependent and Na+-independent mechanisms. Na+-independent glycine (0.1 mM) transport was less than 10% of total uptake and occurred by a mechanism formally indistinguishable from diffusion. Two distinct routes contributed to Na+-dependent glycine transport. The first route was identified with system A because it was inhibited by MeAIB and underwent adaptive regulation. The second route was identified with system ASC as it was inhibited by L-alanine, but not by MeAIB. Kinetic analysis revealed that the two systems operated glycine transport with the same Km of 1.6 mM, a value unusually high for system ASC.
