Abstract
Calcium, but not other divalent cations, is required for optimal uptake of intrinsic factor-bound 57Co-labeled cyanocobalamin (IFB12) by microvillous membranes isolated from hamster ileal-absorptive cells. Chelation of divalent cations by disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) promptly removes IFB12 previously attached to microvillous membranes. High concentrations of CaCl2 or MgCl2 also markedly inhibit membrane uptake of IFB12 and rapidly remove previously attached IFB12. Similarly, reduction of pH to below 5.4 prevents membrane attachment of IFB12 and removes virtually all IFB12 already bound to microvillous membranes. The effects of calcium depletion, increased salt concentrations, and acidification on membrane uptake of IFB12 were completely reversible. These findings are consistent with the concept that the formation of calcium salt bridges is essential for attachment of IFB12 to the ileal-absorptive surface.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
