Abstract excerpt
The cardiac glycoside ouabain inhibits Na,K-ATPase by binding to the alpha subunit. In a highly ouabain resistant clone from the MDCK cell line, we have found two alleles of the alpha subunit in which the cysteine, present in the wild-type first transmembrane segment, is replaced by a tyrosine (Y) or a phenylalanine (F). We have studied the kinetics of ouabain inhibition by measuring the current generated by the...
