The electrogenic Na+/HCO3- cotransporter, NBC.
Electrogenic Na(+)/HCO(3)(-) (NBC) function has been characterized in many mammalian tissues including, kidney, pancreas, and brain. Cloning efforts identified a single cDNA, NBC/NBC1, that possesses all the functional attributes of the electrogenic Na(+)/HCO(3)(-) cotransporter. This NBC clone is related to the anion exchangers and thus forms a bicarbonate transporter superfamily. Presently tw...
متن کاملApical electrogenic NaHCO3 cotransport. A mechanism for HCO3 absorption across the retinal pigment epithelium
Intracellular microelectrode techniques and intracellular pH (pHi) measurements using the fluorescent dye 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF) were employed to characterize an electrogenic bicarbonate transport mechanism at the apical membrane of the frog retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Reductions in apical concentrations of both [HCO3]o (at constant Pco2 or pHo) or [Na]o c...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of NBC4: a new electrogenic sodium-bicarbonate cotransporter.
Sodium-bicarbonate cotransporters are homologous membrane proteins mediating the electrogenic or electroneutral transport of sodium and bicarbonate. Of the functionally characterized sodium-bicarbonate cotransporters (NBC), NBC1 proteins are known to be electrogenic. Here we report the cloning and functional characterization of NBC4c, a new splice variant of the NBC4 gene. At the amino acid lev...
متن کاملOligomeric structure and minimal functional unit of the electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1-A.
The electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1-A mediates the basolateral absorption of sodium and bicarbonate in the proximal tubule. In this study the oligomeric state and minimal functional unit of NBCe1-A were investigated. Wild-type (wt) NBCe1-A isolated from mouse kidney or heterologously expressed in HEK293 cells was predominantly in a dimeric state as was shown using fluorescen...
متن کاملImmunolocalization of the electrogenic Na+-HCO-3 cotransporter in mammalian and amphibian kidney.
Electrogenic cotransport of Na+ and HCO-3 is a crucial element of HCO-3 reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule (PT). An electrogenic Na+-HCO-3 cotransporter (NBC) has recently been cloned from salamander and rat kidney. In the present study, we generated polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) to NBC and used them to characterize NBC on the protein level by immunochemical methods. We generated pAbs in ...
