Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for a putative flavonoid translocator similar to mammalian bilitranslocase in grape berries (Vitis vinifera L.) during ripening.

TL;DR: An immunohistochemical and immunochemical analysis, using an antibody raised against a BTL epitope, evidences the expression and function of such a transporter in V. vinifera berries and a putative role for this carrier is discussed in relation to the membrane transport of secondary metabolites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenolics from grapefruit peels inhibit HMG-CoA reductase and angiotensin-I converting enzyme and show antioxidative properties in endothelial EA.Hy 926 cells

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the possible mechanisms for the use of phenolic extracts from grapefruit peels in the management/prevention of cardiovascular complications and found that the phenolic contents of the extracts were investigated using HPLC-DAD.
Journal ArticleDOI

The bilirubin-binding motif of bilitranslocase and its relation to conserved motifs in ancient biliproteins

TL;DR: In the primary structure of bilitranslocase, currently under study in the laboratory, an aminoacid motif was identified and found to be conserved in a number of alpha-phycocyanines, ancient biliproteins present in cyanobacteria to test the possibility that such a motif could be at least part of the binding site for bilirubin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of electrogenic bromosulfophthalein transport in carnation petal microsomes and its inhibition by antibodies against bilitranslocase

TL;DR: Carnation petals express a homologue of rat liver bilitranslocase, with a putative function in the membrane transport of secondary metabolites, as determined by immunoblots.
