Active absorption of hypoxanthine by lamb jejunum in vitro. 1981

E Scharrer, and W Raab, and W Tiemeyer, and B Amann

The kinetics of [3H]hypoxanthine entry into lamb mid-jejunum were measured using 2-min mucosal exposures. Mucosal hypoxanthine uptake occurred by a Na+- and energy-dependent saturable mechanism indicating that a carrier-mediated active transport process is involved. Inhibitory measurements indicate that hypoxanthine, adenosine, uracil and thymine complete for a common entry mechanism. Adenine, uric acid, allantoin and thymidine produced no significant inhibition of hypoxanthine entry. In additional experiments hypoxanthine was transported against a high concentration gradient from the mucosal to the serosal side of everted sacs of mid-jejunum. Therefore hypoxanthine appears to be absorbed by active transport from the lamb jejunum.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007042 Hypoxanthines Purine bases related to hypoxanthine, an intermediate product of uric acid synthesis and a breakdown product of adenine catabolism.
D007583 Jejunum The middle portion of the SMALL INTESTINE, between DUODENUM and ILEUM. It represents about 2/5 of the remaining portion of the small intestine below duodenum. Jejunums
D011687 Purines A series of heterocyclic compounds that are variously substituted in nature and are known also as purine bases. They include ADENINE and GUANINE, constituents of nucleic acids, as well as many alkaloids such as CAFFEINE and THEOPHYLLINE. Uric acid is the metabolic end product of purine metabolism.
D011743 Pyrimidines A family of 6-membered heterocyclic compounds occurring in nature in a wide variety of forms. They include several nucleic acid constituents (CYTOSINE; THYMINE; and URACIL) and form the basic structure of the barbiturates.
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.
