Ouabain is of cardiotonic steroids (CTS) family that is plant-derived compounds and is known for many years as therapeutic and cytotoxic agents. They are specific inhibitors of Na,K-ATPase, the enzyme, which pumps Na+ and K+ across plasma membrane of ...

Mechanism of NaCl transport-stimulated prostaglandin formation in MDCK cells [PDF]
Recently we have found that stimulation of NaCl transport in high-resistance MDCK cells enhances their prostaglandin formation. In the present study, we investigated the mechanisms by which prostaglandin formation could be linked to the ion transport in ...

The relevance of α-KLOTHO to the central nervous system: Some key questions [PDF]
α-Klotho is well described as an anti-aging protein, with critical roles in kidney function as a transmembrane co-receptor for FGF23, and as a soluble factor in serum.

Abstract The principal processes that govern interstitial K+ ([K+]o) buffering in mouse optic nerve (MON), a central white matter tract, either directly consume energy (Na+–K+‐ATPase) or use transmembrane ion gradients created by energy‐dependent pumps to enable the K+ fluxes that maintain a stable [K+]o, and thus ready availability of utilisable ...

Membrane-Mediated Alterations of Intracellular Na+ and K+ in Lytic-Virus-Infected and Retrovirus-Transformed Cells [PDF]
Infection of chick-embryo fibroblasts and other ceils by certain animal viruses results in alterations in the intracellular concentrations of Na + and K +.

Activation of electroneutral K flux in Amphiuma red blood cells by N-ethylmaleimide. Distinction between K/H exchange and KCl cotransport. [PDF]
Exposure of Amphiuma red blood cells to millimolar concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) resulted in net K loss. In order to determine whether net K loss was conductive or was by electroneutral K/H exchange or KCl cotransport, studies were performed ...

Inhibition of activity of GABA transporter GAT1 by δ-opioid receptor [PDF]
Analgesia is a well-documented effect of acupuncture. A critical role in pain sensation plays the nervous system, including the GABAergic system and opioid receptor (OR) activation.

Identification of PKN2 and MOB4 as Coordinators of Collective Cell Migration
Through a genetic screen, PKN2 and MOB4 are identified as two proteins regulating the healing of an epithelial model wound. PKN2 promotes collective cell migration by maintaining the cohesion of cell monolayers from their lateral junctions, whereas MOB4 restrains collective cell migration and provides a lamellipodial cue for front‐rear polarity in ...
