L-Alanine transport across the isolated duodenal mucosa of the lizard Gallotia galloti has been studied in Ussing chambers under short-circuit conditions. Net L-alanine fluxes, transepithelial potential difference (PD), and short-circuit current (Isc) showed concentration-dependent relationships. Na(+)-dependent L-alanine transport was substantially inhibited by the analog alpha-methyl aminoisobutyric acid (MeAIB). Likewise, MeAIB fluxes were completely inhibited by L-alanine, indicating the presence of system A for neutral amino acid transport. System A transport activity was electrogenic and exhibited hyperbolic relationships for net MeAIB fluxes, PD, and Isc, which displayed similar apparent K(m) values. Na(+)-dependent L-alanine transport, but not MeAIB transport, was partially inhibited by L-serine and L-cysteine, indicating the participation of system ASC. This transport activity represents the major pathway for L-alanine absorption and seemed to operate in an electroneutral mode with a negligible contribution to the L-alanine-induced electrogenicity. It is concluded from the present study that the active Na(+)-dependent L-alanine transport across the isolated duodenal mucosa of Gallotia galloti results from the independent activity of systems A and ASC for neutral amino acid transport.
