What Does BBMV Stand For?

BBMV stands for Brush Border Membrane Vesicle

BBMV, or Brush Border Membrane Vesicle, refers to membrane-bound structures derived from the brush border of intestinal epithelial cells. These vesicles are used in research to study various aspects of membrane transport, enzyme activity, and cellular absorption processes, particularly in the context of nutrient uptake within the gastrointestinal tract. They provide a valuable tool for investigating the functional characteristics of the brush border membrane in health and disease.
