摘要: Many hypertonic bacteria, plants, marine animals, and the mammalian renal medulla are protected from deleterious effects of high intracellular concentrations electrolytes by accumulating nonperturbing osmolyte betaine. When kidney-derived Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells cultured in medium, they accumulate betaine to 1,000 times its medium concentration. This results induction hypertonicity rates transport into cells. We have isolated a cDNA (BGT-1) encoding transporter screening an MDCK cell library for expression Xenopus oocytes. The encodes single protein 614 amino acids, with estimated molecular weight 69 kDa. deduced acid sequence exhibits highly significant topographic similarity brain gamma-amino-n-butyric (GABA) noradrenaline transporters, suggesting that BGT-1 is member GABA/noradrenaline gene family. Expression oocytes indicates has both GABA activities Cl(-)- as well Na(+)-dependent functionally similar Northern hybridization mRNA localized induced hypertonicity.
