Transport of amino acids and glucose in brush border membrane vesicles from the gills of the marine mussel, Mytilus edulis.
Marine mussels accumulate amino acids and glucose from seawater against considerable concentration gradients. The principal site for this uptake is the gill. Previous studies using intact, isolated gills from marine mussels have suggested that the transport mechanism involves coupling to Na⁺, simila...
