Immunologic and autoradiographic localisation of the Na+, K(+)-ATPase in articular cartilage: upregulation in response to changes in extracellular Na+ concentration.
The maintenance of a relatively low intracellular Na+:K+ ratio is essential for the functioning of a wide range of cellular processes, and is achieved principally by the activity of the membrane-bound Na+, K(+)-ATPase. Chondrocytes, the cells of articular cartilage, exist in an ionic environment whe...
