Transport of reduced glutathione (GSH) was studied in isolated rat liver canalicular membrane vesicles by a rapid filtration technique. The membrane vesicles exhibit uptake of [2‐3H]glycine–labeled GSH into an osmotically reactive intravesicular space. Althought the canalicular membrane vesicles possess γ‐glutamyltransferase and aminopeptidase M, enzymes that hydrolyze glutathione into component amino acids, inactivation of the vesicle associated transferase by affinity labeling with L‐(αS,5,S)‐α‐amino‐3‐chloro‐4,5‐dihydro‐5‐isoxazoleacetic acid (AT‐125) had no effect on the initial rate of GSH transport. Chemical analysis revealed that intact GSH accounted for most of vesicle‐associated radioactivity. The initial rate of transport followed saturation kinetics with respect to GSH concentration; an apparentKmof 0.33 mM andVof 1.47 nmol/mg protein in 20 s were calculated. These results indicate that transport of GSH across the canalicular membranes is a carrier‐mediated process. Replacement of NaCl in the transport medium by KCl, LiCl or choline chloride had no effect on the transport activity of the vesicles. The rate of GSH uptake by the vesicles was enhanced by valinomycin‐induced K+‐diffusion potential (vesicle inside positive) and was inhibited by probenecid, indicating that GSH transport across the canalicular membranes is electrogenic and involves the transfer of negative charge. The transport of GSH was inhibited by oxidized glutathione orS‐benzyl‐glutathione. This transport system in canalicular plasma membranes may function in biliary secretion of GSH and its derivatives which are synthesized in hepatocytes by oxidative processes or glutathioneS‐transferase.
