简介
Teleost fishes, living in fresh water, engage in active ion uptake to maintain ion homeostasis. Current models for NaCl uptake involve Na+uptake via an apical amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na+channel (ENaC), energized by an apical vacuolar-type proton pump (V-ATPase) or alternatively by an amiloride-sensitive Na+/H+exchange (NHE) protein, and apical Cl−uptake mediated by an electroneutral, SITS-sensitive Cl−/HCO3−anion-exchange protein. Using non-homologous antibodies, we have determined the cellular distributions of these ion-transport proteins to test the predicted models. Na+/K+-ATPase was used as a cellular marker for differentiating branchial epithelium mitochondria-rich (MR) cells from pavement cells. In both the freshwater tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), V-ATPase and ENaC-like immunoreactivity co-localized to pavement cells, although …
