Physiological and pharmacological characterization of transmembrane acid extruders in cultured human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells

Background: Intracellular pH (pH i) is a pivotal factor for cellular functions and homeostasis. Apart from passive intracellular buffering capacity, active transmembrane transporters responsible for kinetic changes of pH i impacts. Acid extrusion transporters such as Na + /H + exchanger (NHE) and Na...
