  • Title: Uptake of adenosine by cultured cerebral vascular smooth muscle cells.
    Author: Beck DW, Vinters HV, Moore SA, Hart MN, Cancilla PA.
    Journal: J Neurochem; 1983 Oct; 41(4):939-41. PubMed ID: 6619860.
    Abstract:
    Adenosine uptake by cerebral smooth muscle cells is a carrier-mediated process. The Km value for adenosine uptake is 10.0 microM and the Vmax is 0.95 nmol/min-mg cell protein. This uptake system is inhibited by the adenosine analog 2-chloroadenosine at low adenosine concentrations. These results prove the existence of a nucleoside transport system associated with cerebral smooth muscle.
