Zinc Transport and Metallothionein Secretion in the Intestinal Human Cell Line Caco-2
1 Oct 2000
Abstract excerpt
Caco-2, a human cell line, displays several biochemical and morphological characteristics of differentiated enterocytes. Among these is the ability to transport zinc from the apical to the basal compartment. This process was enhanced following exposure by the apical compartment to increasing concentrations of the metal. High pressure liquid chromatography fractionation of the media obtained from cells labeled...
