Potassium channels: The importance of transport signals
The number, type and distribution of ion channels on a neuron's surface determine its electrical response to stimulation. One way that a cell determines how many molecules of each channel type are sent to the surface has been eludicated in a recent study of intrinsic protein transport signals within potassium channels.
متن کاملPotassium transport by the isolated perfused kidney.
Rat kidneys perfused outside of the body with an artificial medium are able to increase their fractional excretion of potassium in response to a rising concentration of potassium in the medium but never show net secretion of potassium. By contrast, isolated perfused kidneys from chronically potassium-loaded rats regularly secrete potassium in excess of the amount filtered. Ouabain completely bl...
متن کاملPotassium and Sodium Transport across Single Distal Tubules of Amphiuma
The transport properties of potassium (K) and sodium (Na) were studied in single distal tubules of Amphiuma using free-flow micropuncture techniques and stationary microperfusion methods. The transepithelial movement of labeled potassium was measured utilizing a three-compartment system in series in which the time course of tracer disappearance from the lumen was followed. Under control conditi...
متن کاملProinflammatory Cytokines and Potassium Channels in the Kidney
Proinflammatory cytokines affect several cell functions via receptor-mediated processes. In the kidney, functions of transporters and ion channels along the nephron are also affected by some cytokines. Among these, alteration of activity of potassium ion (K(+)) channels induces changes in transepithelial transport of solutes and water in the kidney, since K(+) channels in tubule cells are indis...
متن کاملPotassium transport across renal distal tubules during acid-base disturbances.

Physiol. 221(4) : 1192-1208. 197 1 .-Free-flow samples of tubular fluid (TF) were collected from superficial nephrons of rat kidneys for the analysis of potassium (K), pH, bicarbonate and inulin-W. Rats were subjected to metabolic or respiratory...
