  • Title: Kinetics of cyclic AMP in toad bladder.
    Author: Ekblad EB, Licko V.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1978 Apr 19; 540(1):173-82. PubMed ID: 205277.
    Abstract:
    Tissue distributions of cyclic [3H]AMP and [14C]inulin in toad bladder were determined and their kinetics analyzed. We found that both the epithelial and the other cells of the toad bladder handle cyclic AMP similarly. Moreover, we found that the distribution of cyclic AMP did not differ from that of inulin, an extracellular marker. Kinetic analysis suggests that the rate coefficient of cyclic AMP metabolism is much larger than the exchange rate coefficient, which explains why distribution of both cyclic AMP and inulin are similar.
