✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The uptake of L‐alanine into BHK21‐C13 cells in culture has been studied. This amino acid appears to be transported essentially via a relatively low affinity, high capacity, sodium ion dependent transport system. Inhibition studies using other amino acids or their analogues provided information about the specificity of this system. This alanine transport system was shown to exhibit a broad substrate specificity and appeared to be capable of transporting most naturally occurring neutral α‐amino acids

Kinetic studies of the inhibition of L‐alanine uptake also indicated the presence of a second neutral amino acid transport system capable of transporting this amino acid. However, it is unlikely that this second uptake system contributes greatly to L‐alanine uptake. Inhibition of the uptake of L‐leucine indicated that this transport system has a similar specificity to the "L"‐system initially described for Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells.
