Abstract
Renal brush border vesicles prepared from rabbit were shown to transport intact glycyl-L-proline into the intravesicular space by a Na +-independent, carrier-mediated process. The kinetics of hydrolysis of glycyl-L-proline by the vesicles showed that this dipeptide was extremely resistant to hydrolysis. The intravesicular concentration of glycyl-L-proline was the same in both NaCl and KCl media. Dipeptide uptake into the vesicles appeared to be via carrier-mediated transport down a concentration gradient.
