Regulation of NaK-ATPase Activity by Neurotransmitters
نویسنده
چکیده
The hitherto unknown NT-regulated mechanism of NaK-ATPase localized in the nerve ending membranes is found. The mechanism certainly has a functional significance and must be involved in the regulation – modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. On the other hand , the availability of the discovered specific protein, regulators (SFa and SFi) of synaptic origin, makes it possible to consider these mechanisms as the possible components of learning and short-term memory processes. © 2007 Bull.

O-10: A Marked Animal-Vegetal Polarity in The Localization of Na+,K+-ATPase Activity and Its Down-Regulation Following Progesterone-Induced Maturation
Background: Polarized cells are key to the process of differentiation. Xenopus oocyte is a polarized cell that has complete blue-print to differentiate 3 germ layers following fertilization, as key determinant molecules (Proteins and RNAs) are asymmetrically localized. The objective of this work was to localize Na+, K+-ATPase activity along animal-vegetal axis of polarized Xenopus oocyte and fo...

متن کاملEffect of Chronic Renal Failure on NaK - ATPase al and a 2 mRNA Transcription in Rat Skeletal Muscle
Previous studies have suggested that an alteration in the expression of the NaK-ATPase of muscle may be an important determinant ofenhanced insulin sensitivity in chronic renal failure. Therefore, in the present studies we have examined the effect of uremia on the NaK-ATPase a isoforms in skeletal muscle, at the level of mRNA expression and enzymatic activity. The activity of the sodium pump, a...
متن کاملEffects of UV-A radiation on lens epithelial NaK-ATPase in organ culture.
PURPOSE To investigate the mechanisms involved in the damage caused by UV-A irradiation at 365 nm on the eye lens. METHODS Bovine lenses obtained from animals 1 to 5 years of age were placed in specially designed organ culture chambers for preincubation. Twenty-four hours later, the lenses were irradiated by 33 J/cm2 UV-A at 365 nm. During irradiation, the lenses were oriented in the culture ...
متن کاملIdentification of Zebrafish Fxyd11a Protein that is Highly Expressed in Ion-Transporting Epithelium of the Gill and Skin and its Possible Role in Ion Homeostasis
FXYD proteins, small single-transmembrane proteins, have been proposed to be auxiliary regulatory subunits of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and have recently been implied in ion osmoregulation of teleost fish. In freshwater (FW) fish, numerous ions are actively taken up through mitochondrion-rich cells (MRCs) of the gill and skin epithelia, using the Na(+) electrochemical gradient generated by Na(+)-K(+)-A...
