Abstract
Taurine is one of the most abundant free amino acids in animal cells/tissues and is thought to have such functions as antioxidation, anti-inflammation, osmoregulation and nerve regulation. Taurine transporter (TAUT) plays an important role in regulating the intracellular taurine concentration. The intestinal TAUT is particularly important because the intestinal epithelium is the tissue required for the absorption of dietary taurine in the body. We have studied regulatory properties of intestinal TAUT by using human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells as a model. Various aspects of TAUT regulation in Caco-2 cells have been observed.KeywordsIntestinal Epithelial CellSesame SeedFood FactorTaurine TransporterTaurine UptakeThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
