Abstract
Using rat heart sarcolemma and liver plasma membrane vesicles, it has been verified that the transport of leukotriene C4 (LTC4) across membranes is an ATP‐dependent process; the apparent K m for LTC4 was 150 nM (heart sarcolemma) or 250 nM (liver plasma membrane). S‐(2,4‐dinitrophenyl)‐glutathione (DNP‐SG) inhibited LTC4 uptake into the vesicles dose‐dependently (I 50 = 25 (μM for both heart sarcolemma and liver plasma membrane vesicles). Mutual inhibition between LTC4 and DNP‐SG in uptake into the vesicles demonstrates that transport of LTC4 is mediated by an ATP‐dependent glutathione S‐conjugate carrier.Keywords
