Expression of the functional D-glucose transport system in Xenopus oocytes injected with mRNA of rat small intestine.
???displayArticle.abstract???
mRNA prepared from rat small intestine was injected into Xenopus oocytes. The injected oocytes showed a clear electrical response to D-glucose (Glu) in the form of membrane depolarization and conductance increase, while none was shown to D-fructose. The membrane electrical response of the injected oocytes evoked by Glu followed the Michaelis-Menten type kinetics and was dependent on the membrane potential of the oocyte. Replacing the Na+ of the bathing buffer with choline+ resulted in no response to Glu. Thus, a Glu transport system coupled to a Na+ gradient was expressed in Xenopus oocytes by injecting mRNA from rat small intestine.
