Three compounds which inhibit glucose transport in rat adipocytes have been proposed to act directly on the glucose transporter protein. We tested these proposals by examining the effects of the compounds on the stereospecific glucose uptake catalyzed by adipocyte membrane

A method has been designed for the assay of pancreatic carboxypeptidase A in blood serum. It uses Z-Gly-Phe as the substrate and fluorimetric determination of the released phenylalanine in an amino acid analyser, which yields a measure of free carboxypeptidase
Metalloendoproteases have been implicated in a variety of fusion processes including plasma membrane fusion and exocytosis. As a prerequisite to skeleton formation in the sea urchin embryo, primary mesenchyme cells undergo fusion via filopodia to form syncytia. The spicule is

Bioactive primary and secondary amines, when acylated with the Z-Gly-Phe group, are transported into pinocytic cells, such as macrophages, P-815 mastocytoma, SV-40 3T3, and leukemia 1210, much faster than the parent compounds. Amines such as lysosomotropic detergents [R. A. Firestone

HepG2 cells were employed as model system to investigate potential relationships between early protein processing and Ca2+ storage by the endoplasmic reticulum. Ca2+ was required for glycoprotein processing and export by intact cells. The processing and export of alpha 1-antitrypsin
