Abstract excerpt
The Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) becomes activated by hyperosmolar stress, thereby contributing to cell volume regulation. The signaling pathway(s) responsible for the shrinkage-induced activation of NHE, however, remain unknown. A family of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), encompassing p42/p44 Erk, p38 MAPK and SAPK, has been implicated in a variety of cellular responses to changes in osmolarity. We therefore...
