Adenosine Triphosphatases of Rat Pancreatic Islets: COMPARISON WITH THOSE OF RAT KIDNEY
AUTOR(ES)
Levin, Seymour R.
RESUMO
Electrolyte fluxes are fundamental to normal endocrine pancreatic function. Adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases) are enzyme systems believed to modulate electrolyte movements across membranes in a number of cell types. This study was undertaken to measure cation-dependent ATPases of rat pancreatic islets. In addition, we compared effects of substances which influence endocrine pancreatic function upon ATPases in homogenates of islets and kidney, the latter being a tissue which would not be expected to have a stimulus-secretion response to substances which activate islets.
