Distal colon absorbs K+ through a Na+-independent, ouabain-sensitive H+/K+-exchange, associated to an apical ouabain-sensitive H+/K+-ATPase. Expression of HKalpha2, gene associated with this ATPase, induces K+-transport mechanisms, whose ouabain susceptibility is inconsistent. Both ouabain-sensitive and ouabain-insensitive K+-ATPase activities have been described in colonocytes. However, native H+/K+-ATPases have not been identified as unique biochemical entities. Herein, a procedure to purify ouabain-sensitive H+/K+-ATPase from guinea-pig distal colon is described. H+/K+-ATPase is Mg2+-dependent and activated by K+, Cs+ and NH4+ but not by Na+ or Li+, independently of K+-accompanying anion. H+/K+-ATPase was inhibited by ouabain and vanadate but insensitive to SCH-28080 and bafilomycin-A. Enzyme was phosphorylated from [32P]-gamma-ATP, forming an acyl-phosphate bond, in an Mg2+-dependent, vanadate-sensitive process. K+ inhibited phosphorylation, effect blocked by ouabain. H+/K+-ATPase is an alpha/beta-heterodimer, whose subunits, identified by Tandem-mass spectrometry, seems to correspond to HKalpha2 and Na+/K+-ATPase beta1-subunit, respectively. Thus, colonic ouabain-sensitive H+/K+-ATPase is a distinctive P-type ATPase.

The colon has large capacities for K absorption and K secretion, but its role in maintaining K homeostasis is often overlooked. For many years, passive diffusion and/or solvent drag were thought to be the primary mechanisms for K absorption in human and animal colon. However, it is now clear that apical H ,K -ATPase, in coordination with basolateral K -Cl cotransport and/or K and Cl channels operating in parallel, mediate electroneutral K absorption in animal colon.

Fish are continuously forced to actively absorb or expel water and ions through epithelia. Most studies have focused on the gill due to its role in Na and Cl trafficking. However, comparatively few studies have focused on the changing function of the intestine in response to external salinity.

Tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) describes a causal and direct relationship between tubular NaCl concentration at the end of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle and afferent arteriolar tone. The use of genetically altered mice has led to an expansion of our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the functional coupling of epithelial, mesangial, and vascular cells in TGF. Studies in mice with deletions of the A or B isoform of NKCC2 (Na,K,2Cl cotransporter) and of ROMK indicate that NaCl uptake is required for response initiation.
