Abstract
⺠Na+-dependent and facilitative transport of taurine were studied at the BBB. ⺠Taurine facilitative transport is present at the luminal and abluminal membranes. ⺠Na+-dependent transport of taurine is only present at the abluminal membrane. ⺠Na+-dependent transport of taurine is stimulated by membrane hyperpolarization. ⺠Na+-dependent transport of taurine is stimulated by hypotonicity.
