Convective paracellular solute flux. A source of ion-ion interaction in the epithelial transport equations
An electrolyte model of an epithelium (a cell and a tight junction in parallel, both in series with a lateral interspace basement membrane) is analyzed using the formalism of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. It is shown that if the parallel structures are heteroporous (i.e., reflection coefficients for two ion species differ between the components), then a cross-term will appear in the overall tr...
متن کاملThe solute carrier 26 family of proteins in epithelial ion transport.
Transepithelial Cl(-) and HCO(3)(-) transport is critically important for the function of all epithelia and, when altered or ablated, leads to a number of diseases, including cystic fibrosis, congenital chloride diarrhea, deafness, and hypotension (78, 111, 119, 126). HCO(3)(-) is the biological buffer that maintains acid-base balance, thereby preventing metabolic and respiratory acidosis (48)....
متن کاملInteraction of intracellular ion buffering with transmembrane-coupled ion transport
The role of the Na/Ca exchanger in the control of cellular excitability and tension development is a subject of current interest in cardiac physiology. It has been suggested that this coupled transporter is responsible for rapid changes in intracellular calcium activity during single beats, generation of plateau currents, which control action potential duration, and control of intracellular sod...
متن کاملIon transport processes of crustacean epithelial cells.
Epithelial cells of the gut, antennal glands, integument, and gills of crustaceans regulate the movements of ions into and across these structures and thereby influence the concentrations of ions in the hemolymph. Specific transport proteins serving cations and anions are found on apical and basolateral cell membranes of epithelia in these tissues. In recent years, a considerable research effor...
متن کاملAluminium-induced ion transport in Arabidopsis: the relationship between Al tolerance and root ion flux
Aluminium (Al) rhizotoxicity coincides with low pH; however, it is unclear whether plant tolerance to these two factors is controlled by the same mechanism. To address this question, the Al-resistant alr104 mutant, two Al-sensitive mutants (als3 and als5), and wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana were compared in long-term exposure (solution culture) and in short-term exposure experiments (H(+) and K...
