Synthesis and uptake of taurine by isolated human granulocytes
Folia Histochemica Et Cytobiologica
|January 1, 1986
Abstract:
The synthesis and uptake of taurine were studied in isolated human granulocytes. It was found that granulocytes were capable to metabolize L-cysteine to taurine, and to take up taurine from the incubation medium. The taurine uptake appeared to be temperature dependent, sodium dependent and competitively inhibited by beta--alanine.
