  • Title: Energizing epithelial transport with the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase.
    Author: Beyenbach KW.
    Journal: News Physiol Sci; 2001 Aug; 16():145-51. PubMed ID: 11479361.
    Abstract:
    The Ussing model has long provided the conceptual foundation for understanding epithelial transport mechanisms energized by the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Plasma membranes may also use the vacuolar (V-type) H(+)-ATPase as the primary energy source of membrane and epithelial transport. A pure electrogenic pump, the V-type H(+)-ATPase energizes not only membranes it inhabits but also other transport pathways via electrical coupling.
