Sodium-extruding and calcium-extruding sodium/calcium exchangers display similar calcium affinities.
Na+/Ca2+ exchange activities in purely inside-out and mixed inside-out and right-side-out fish enterocyte basolateral plasma membrane vesicle preparations display equal affinities for Ca2+, showing that only the intracellular Ca2+ transport site of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger is detected in experiments on vesicle preparations with mixed orientation. Therefore, Ca2+ pump and Na+/Ca2+ exchange activit...
متن کاملExtruding intentionality from the metaphysical flux
On the Origin of Objects is, at heart, an extended search for a non-circular and nonreductive characterization of two key notions: intentionality (the content or "aboutness" distinctive of mental states) and computation (the familiar but elusive tool of much cognitive scientific explanation). Only a non-circular and non-reductive account of these key notions can, Smith believes, provide a secur...
متن کاملNematode Sodium Calcium Exchangers: A Surprising Lack of Transport
Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchangers are low-affinity, high-capacity transporters that rapidly transport calcium against a gradient of Na(+) ions. Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchangers are divided into three groups based upon substrate specificity: Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchangers (NCX), Na(+)/Ca(2+)/K(+) exchangers (NCKX), and Ca(2+)/cation exchangers (NCLX). In mammals, there are three NCX genes, five NCKX genes, and a single N...
متن کاملSodium-calcium exchangers in rat trigeminal ganglion neurons
BACKGROUND Noxious stimulation and nerve injury induce an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) via various receptors or ionic channels. While an increase in [Ca(2+)]i excites neurons, [Ca(2+)]i overload elicits cytotoxicity, resulting in cell death. Intracellular Ca(2+) is essential for many signal transduction mechanisms, and its level is precisely regulated by the Ca(2+)...
متن کاملPresynaptic localization of sodium/calcium exchangers in neuromuscular preparations.
Calcium ions play a critical role in neurotransmitter release. The cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) at nerve terminals must therefore be carefully controlled. Several different mechanisms, including a plasmalemmal Na/Ca exchanger, are involved in regulating [Ca2+]cyt. We employed immunofluorescence microscopy with polyclonal antiserum raised against dog cardiac sarcolemmal Na/Ca exchang...
