Certain epithelia secrete HCO 3− to drive fluid secretion, to modify luminal pH and
properties of secreted mucus, and to fulfill other functions of a given epithelium …

Certain epithelia secrete HCO 3− to buffer luminal fluids and protect cells against acids.
Dysregulation of HCO 3− secretion can lead to conditions such as malabsorption, acid/base …

The transport of bicarbonate across the enterocyte cell membrane regulates the intracellular
as well as the luminal pH and is an essential part of directional fluid movement in the gut …

Epithelia cover the internal and external surfaces of the organism and form barriers between
the various compartments. Some of these epithelia are specialized for effective …

To define the transport pathway for HCO-3 secretion (JHCO3) across the apical and
basolateral membranes of turtle bladder, we examined the effects of cAMP …

Transepithelial bicarbonate secretion plays a key role in the maintenance of fluid and
protein secretion from epithelial cells and the protection of the epithelial cell surface from …

Bicarbonate is a simple single carbon molecule that plays surprisingly important roles in
diverse biological processes. Among these are photosynthesis, the Krebs cycle, whole-body …

Many anion channels, frequently referred as Cl− channels, are permeable to different anions
in addition to Cl−. As the second-most abundant anion in the human body, HCO 3 …

The family of mammalian bicarbonate transport proteins are involved in a wide-range of
physiological processes. The importance of bicarbonate transport follows from the …

Many epithelia secrete bicarbonate-rich fluid to generate flow, alter viscosity, control pH and
potentially protect luminal and intracellular structures from chemical stress. Bicarbonate is a …
