Example sentences for: transcellular
How can you use “transcellular” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
During transcellular calcium transport across the absorptive enterocyte, calcium must pass across an apical brush border membrane, then transverse the interior of the cell, and exit against an electrochemical gradient across the basolateral membrane.
Because the movement of water through plants and plant tissues involves several barriers, including apoplastic, symplastic and transcellular ones, a single set of measures of overall hydraulic conductivity, although useful, is not sufficient for determining how particular AQPs function in planta .
This view, in fact, conceals a number of quite different roles for water-channel activity, involving the regulation of water flux and homeostasis at the subcellular, transcellular, tissue and whole-plant levels.
The coordinated vitamin D-dependent induction of the cytosolic calcium-binding protein calbindin D could serve this function when the need for transcellular calcium flux is high by acting directly or indirectly as a molecular sponge and selectively removing calcium ions from the CaT1 channel and/or to buffer increases in intracellular calcium, thereby preventing premature inactivation of this I CRAC channel [ 15 ] . Calbindin D could also play its traditionally conceived role as a calcium chaperone protein to facilitate the transfer of calcium through the cytosol [ 32 ] and perhaps delivery of Ca ++to the basolateral ATP-dependent calcium pump for extrusion out of the enterocyte [ 33 ] .
These epithelial calcium channel genes are products of evolutionary local gene duplication found on chromosome 7 and represent a new family of Ca-selective ion channels involved in active Ca (re)absorption [ 12 ] . Furthermore, it has been suggested that the control of the number of active channels at the cell surface is critical for regulation of active calcium transport and that the epithelial calcium channel could confer the rate-limiting step in transcellular calcium transport [ 13 ] .
