Substrate specificity. 49 A brush border Na+, H+ exchange pump, along with Na+, K+ ATPase in the basolateral membrane, maintains this confined acidic milieu (Figure 2-7). 50 Both substrates of these carriers are absorbed normally in disease states if presented in the form of small peptides. 52 This is handled by transport proteins different from those in the brush border membrane. In addition to exporting amino acids into the portal circulation, these amino acid transport proteins take up amino acids into the entero­ cyte for use during fasting periods.

BRUSH BORDER DIGESTION Since only monosaccharides can be absorbed across the enterocyte membrane, bigger molecules such as disac­ charides and the products of luminal starch breakdown need further processing. This is achieved by the hydro­ lases of the brush border (see Figure 2-1). Maltase (glucoamylase) breaks the α1,4 links in oligo­ saccharides that are 5 to 9 glucose molecules long. ISO­ MALTASE (also called α-dextrinase) breaks α1,6 bonds, acting as a debranching enzyme. 9 Sucrase breaks sucrose into glucose and fructose.

Elastase Figure 2-6. Overview of digestion and absorption of protein. 39-41 Because almost all protein that enters the portal vein is in the form of amino acids, further digestion of any oligopep­ tides (which have 2 to 6 amino acids) must take place either at the brush border level or within the enterocyte cytoplasm. An oligopeptide’s length determines the rate and the site (brush border versus intracellular) of its assimilation. The brush border peptidases are active at neutral pH and include an array of aminopeptidases, carboxypeptidases, endopeptidases, and dipeptidases.
