Luminal Leptin Enhances CD147/MCT-1-mediated Uptake of Butyrate in the Human Intestinal Cell Line Caco2-BBE
1 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
In the intestine, butyrate constitutes the major energy fuel for colonocytes. However, little is known about the transport of butyrate and its regulation in the intestine. In this study we demonstrate that the monocarboxylate transporter (MCT-1) is apically polarized in model human intestinal epithelia and is involved in butyrate uptake by Caco2-BBE cell monolayers. The butyrate uptake by Caco2-BBE cell...
