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 …

Teleost fishes are able to acclimatize to seawater by secreting excess NaCl by means of
specialized “ionocytes” in the gill epithelium. Antibodies against Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) …

Na+/H+ exchange has been implicated in models of ion transport across the branchial
epithelium of marine and freshwater fishes. In this preliminary study, we present …

We report the presence of the ion transporting proteins V-H+-ATPase, Na+/K+-ATPase and
NHE2 in the gill epithelium of the Pacific hagfish Epatretus stoutii. Heterologous antibodies …

We examined the involvement of mitochondria-rich (MR) cells in ion uptake through gill
epithelia in freshwater-adapted killifish Fundulus heteroclitus, by morphological observation …

We have explored the molecular basis for differences in physiological function between the
gills and opercular epithelium of the euryhaline killifish Fundulus heteroclitus. These tissues …

Percoll density-gradient separation, combined with peanut lectin agglutinin (PNA) binding
and magnetic bead separation, was used to separate dispersed fish gill cells into sub …

We adapted killifish to defined freshwater (FW: 1.0 mM Na+, 1.0 mM Cl−,+ 0.1 mM Ca2+)
and by fluorescence light microscopy and scanning and transmission electron microscopy …

Biochemical procedures developed to isolate plasma membranes from the branchial
epithelium of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) yield membrane fractions that are …

SUMMARY Na+/K+-ATPase, Na+/K+/2Cl-cotransporter (NKCC) and cystic fibrosis
transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) are the three major transport proteins …
