Use of Isolated Membrane Vesicles in Transport Studies

  • Chapter
Transport

Abstract

Isolated membrane vesicles represent one of the simplest systems in which the transport processes remain intact and have therefore provided considerable information on the structure, function, and regulation of transport systems. Although whole cells may also be used for transpprt studies, it is often difficult to separate transport from subsequent events in intracellular intermediary metabolism. One of the important advantages offered by membrane vesicles is the opportunity to investigate their transport functions apart from other cellular activities. At the same time, the isolated transport systems of membrane vesicles are retained in a functional form and their relationship to other membrane components can also be studied.
