Biological cell membranes regulate the transfer of matter and
information between the intracellular and extracellular
compartments as basic survival and maintenance functions for an
organism. This volume contains a series of reviews that are c-
cerned with how epithelial plasma membranes regulate the transport
of solutes between the intracellular and extracellular compartments
of a cell. This book is also an attempt to analyze the molecular
basis for the movement of various solutes across an epithelial cell
membrane. This volume is devoted to a diversity of epithelial
transport mechanisms in rep- sentative cell membranes of a variety
of living things. The ?rst section of the book (Chapters 1-6)
focuses on mechanisms of solute transport in epithelia of inver-
brates. The last section which comprises ten chapters (Chapters
7-16) deals with solute transporters in epithelial cell membranes
of vertebrates. It is hoped that with this particular ordering the
reader can glean a telescopic view of the evolutionary history of
the various epithelial solute transporters.
