摘要
Agmatine, the product of arginine decarboxylation, has been recently found in a wide variety of animal tissues. In spite of the emergent interest on agmatine in animals, the mechanism of agmatine uptake in mammalian cells has been scarcely studied. An analysis of radiolabeled agmatine uptake was carried out by using a classical, kinetic approach with BHK-21 hamster kidney cells in culture. A high affinity, temperature- and energy-dependent agmatine transport system in BHK-21 kidney cells is here kinetically characterized which seems to be a "general" transporter shared by di- and triamines and different to a highly specific carrier for the tetraamine spermine.
