Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The present experiments were designed to study the importance of the carboxy-terminus of colonic H(+), K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit (HKalpha(2)), for both function as well as integrity of assembly with beta1-Na(+), K(+)-ATPase. METHODS: For this purpose, a mutation of 84 amino acids in the carboxy-terminus was created (DeltaHKalpha(2)) and HEK-293 cells were used as expression systems for functional...
