Developmental changes in amino acid transport in the chicken erythrocyte. 1983

J Lerner, and S E Hilchey, and R M Smagula

1. Influx of leucine, lysine and glycine was found to be highest in prehatch (day -1) chicken red blood cells and to diminish during posthatch development when tested at two and four weeks of age. 2. The greatest decline in transport rate during development was seen with leucine; lysine showed a substantial age-related decline only at substrate concentrations greater than Km, the apparent Michaelis constant of transport. 3. Vmax, the maximal transport influx, of each amino acid tested declined during development. 4. Km of glycine and leucine appeared to increase slightly over the test period. 5. In contrast, a 7-fold decrease in Km for lysine transport was seen over the same period. 6. These results are discussed in context of changes in kinetic parameters of amino acid transport during development reported for various animal organs or tissues.
