Abstract excerpt
Lung Na-K-ATPase has been shown to contribute to vectorial Na+ transport and edema clearance. The alpha 1- and beta 1-Na-K-ATPase subunits have been localized to alveolar type II (ATII) cells, and the alpha 2-Na-K-ATPase has been reported in rat lung homogenates. Expression of Na-K-ATPase alpha 1-, alpha 2-, and beta 1-subunits was investigated in rat ATII cells cultured for 7 days, a period during which they...
