Molecular model of the microvillar cytoskeleton and organization of the brush border. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Brush border microvilli are approximately 1-microm long finger-like projections emanating from the apical surfaces of certain, specialized absorptive epithelial cells.

Mechanisms of isoform specific Rap2 signaling during enterocytic brush border formation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Brush border formation during polarity establishment of intestinal epithelial cells is uniquely governed by the Rap2A GTPase, despite expression of the other highly similar Rap2 isoforms (Rap2B and Rap2C).

Generation of stable lipid raft microdomains in the enterocyte brush border by selective endocytic removal of non-raft membrane. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The small intestinal brush border has an unusually high proportion of glycolipids which promote the formation of lipid raft microdomains, stabilized by various cross-linking lectins. This unique membrane organization acts to provide physical and chemical

Antibrush Border Antibody Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review
Kidney Medicine, 2021 Anti-brush border antibody (ABBA) disease, also called anti–low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2 (anti-LRP2) nephropathy, occurs due to the formation of antibodies against brush border antigens of the renal proximal convoluted tubule.

HISTOCHEMICAL CHANGES ON SMALL INTESTINE MUCOSA INFECTED WITH GIARDIASIS IN WISTER ALBINO RATS [PDF]
Basrah Journal of Veterinary Research, 2010 Brush border enzymes activity were decreased in group infected with giardiasis comparing with the control group, probably represent a direct effect of this parasite on the brush border of the enterocytes. The present study indicated that mucosal enzymes (

A comparative study of sterol absorption in different small-intestinal brush border membrane models
Journal of Lipid Research, 1996 We reported previously that the absorption of cholesterol and long-chain cholesteryl esters by rabbit small-intestinal brush border membranes (BBMV) is protein-mediated (Thurnhofer, H., and H. Hauser. 1990. Biochemistry.

Inhibition of ileal sodium-dependent bile acid transport by 2164U90.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1995 Inhibition of the ileal bile acid active transport system, previously shown to be mechanism underlying the hypocholesterolemic activity of 2164U90 in rodents, was further characterized in isolated intestinal preparations from three species.

Protein expression of ABCC2 and SLC22A3 associates with prognosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma
Scientific Reports, 2019 ATP-binding cassette (ABC) and solute carrier (SLC) transporters translocate diverse substances across cellular membranes and their deregulation may cause drug resistance of cancers. This study investigated significance of protein expression and cellular
