Uptakes of 1.0 mM ceftibuten and 0.2 mM [14C]Gly-Sar into intestinal BBM vesicles in the presence of an inward H+gradient were measured for 20 s at 37°C with/without inhibitors, respectively. Each value represents mean ± S.E.M. Voltage-clamped BBM vesicles were prepared by adding valinomycin (6 μg/mg BBM protein) in the presence of equal concentrations of potassium at both the intravesicular and extravesicular space. The concentration of FCCP was 50 μM.
