The electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1 is a high-affinity bicarbonate carrier in cortical astrocytes.
The electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1 (SLC4A4) is a robust regulator of intracellular H(+) and a significant base carrier in many cell types. Using wild-type (WT) and NBCe1-deficient (NBC-KO) mice, we have studied the role of NBCe1 in cortical astrocytes in culture and in situ by monitoring intracellular H(+) using the H(+)-sensitive dye BCECF [2',7'-bis-(carboxyethyl)-5-(and-...
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 کاملInhibition of the cardiac electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter reduces ischemic injury.
OBJECTIVE Although it is believed that sodium-driven acid-base transport plays a central role in the development of the reperfusion injury that follows cardiac ischemia, research to date has demonstrated only a role for Na(+)/H(+) exchange (NHE). However, Na(+)-driven HCO(-)(3) transport, which is quantitatively as important as NHE in cardiac cells, has not been examined. METHODS AND RESULTS ...
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 کاملThe electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter: developmental expression in rat brain and possible role in acid vulnerability.
The electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter (NBC) is expressed in glial cells in the brain and plays an important role in the regulation of both intracellular and extracellular pH. Differential vulnerability to acidosis between neurons and glia has been noted and may contribute to infarction after cerebral ischemia. Ionic substitution studies and inhibition of injury by 4, 4'-di-isothiocy...
