Effects of increased concentrations of potassium and of hyposmolar conditions on release of taurine were investigated in cerebellar granule neurons cultured from mice. It was found that increases in the external potassium concentration as well as decreases in osmolarity dose-dependent1 y increased r
Taurine uptake in cultured cerebellar granule cells and astrocytes consisted of a saturable high-affinity component and nonsaturable diffusion. The transport constant (Km) was significantly lower and the maximal velocity (V) higher in granule cells than in astrocytes. The uptakes were strictly sodiu
