Epithelial Na+ transport participates in control of various body functions and conditions: eg,
homeostasis of body fluid content influencing blood pressure, control of amounts of fluids …

Renal epithelial Na+ transport plays an important role in homeostasis of our body fluid
content and blood pressure. Further, the Na+ transport in alveolar epithelial cells essentially …

Hypotonicity stimulates transepithelial Na+ reabsorption in renal A6 cells, but the
mechanism for this stimulation is not fully understood. In the present study, we found that …

We previously reported that hypotonic stress stimulated transepithelial Na+ transport via a
pathway dependent on protein tyrosine kinase (PTK; Niisato N, Van Driessche W, Liu M …

1 In cell‐attached patches formed on the apical membrane of fetal alveolar epithelium,
terbutaline (a specific β2‐adrenergic agonist) increased the open probability (Po) of an …

Renal A6 cells have been reported in which hyposmolality stimulates Na+ transport by
increasing the number of conducting amiloride-sensitive 4-pS Na+ channels at the apical …

The body fluid (extracellular fluid: ECF) volume is mainly regulated by Na+ uptake
(absorption) in the colon (1-3) and Na+ reabsorption in the kidney (4-7), and plays various …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the roles of Ca 2+ and protein tyrosine
kinase (PTK) in the insulin action on cell volume in fetal rat (20-day gestational age) type II …

An amiloride-sensitive, Ca 2+-activated nonselective cation (NSC) channel in the apical
membrane of fetal rat alveolar epithelium plays an important role in stimulation of Na+ …

Membrane transport plays a critical role in producing ionic environments in both intracellular
and extracellular spaces that are necessary for cellular signal transduction. The importance …
