The activity of the Na-H antiporter is inhibited by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase A (cAMP-PKA). The inhibitory effect of PKA on the Na-H antiporter is mediated through a regulatory protein that can be dissociated from the antiporter by limited protein digestion. PKA also inhibits the activity of the Na+/HCO3- cotransporter. We investigated whether the activity of Na+/HCO3- cotransporter and the effect of PKA on this transporter may also be regulated by limited protein digestion. In rabbit renal cortical basolateral membranes (BLM) and in solubilized BLM reconstituted in liposomes (proteoliposomes), trypsin (100 micrograms) increased 22Na uptake in the presence of HCO3 but not in the presence of gluconate, indicating that trypsin does not alter diffusive 22Na uptake but directly stimulates the Na+/HCO3- cotransporter activity. In proteoliposomes phosphorylated with ATP, the catalytic subunit (CSU) of cAMP-PKA decreased the activity of the Na+/HCO3- cotransporter (expressed as nanomoles/mg protein/3s) from 23 +/- 10 to 14 +/- 6 (P < 0.01). In the presence of trypsin, the inhibitory effect of CSU of cAMP-PKA on the activity of Na+/HCO3- cotransporter was blunted. To identify a fraction that was responsible for the inhibitory effect of the CSU on the Na+/HCO3- cotransporter activity, solubilized proteins were separated by size exclusion chromatography. The effect of CSU of cAMP-PKA on the Na+/HCO3- cotransporter activity was assayed in proteoliposomes digested with trypsin with the addition of a fraction containing the 42 kDa protein (fraction S+) or without the 42 kDa protein (fraction S-).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Infertility is a global concern attributed to genetic defects, lifestyle, nutrition, and any other factors that affect the local metabolism and niche microenvironment of the reproductive system. 2-Oxoglutarate receptor 1 (OXGR1) is abundantly expressed in the testis; however, its cellular distribution and biological function of OXGR1 in the male reproductive system remain unclear. In the current study, we demonstrated that OXGR1 is primarily expressed in epididymal smooth muscle cells (SMCs).

Autosomal recessive proximal renal tubular acidosis (AR-pRTA) with ocular abnormalities is a rare syndrome caused by variants in the SLC4A4 gene, which encodes Na/HCO3 cotransporter (NBCe1). The syndrome primarily affects the kidneys, but also causes extra-renal manifestations. Pancreatic type NBCe1 is located at the basolateral membrane of the pancreatic ductal cells and together with CFTR chloride channel, it is involved in bicarbonate secretion.

Background: Solute Carrier Family 4 Member 4 (SLC4A4) is a membrane protein-coding gene for a Na/HCO cotransporter and plays a crucial role in regulating pH, bicarbonate secretion and homeostasis. However, the prognostic and immunological role of SLC4A4 in colon cancer remains unknown.
Method: In this study, expression profiles of SLC4A4 were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases, to which a variety of bioinformatic analyses were performed.

Article Synopsis
- * The review highlights two main genetic mechanisms: increased potassium loss due to renal abnormalities and decreased potassium availability from ion channel defects, affecting multiple organs like kidneys, intestines, and muscles.
- * It details over ten genetic disorders linked to hypokalemia, emphasizing specific genes (e.g., SLC12A1 for Bartter syndrome and SLC26A3 for congenital chloride diarrhea) that illustrate the complexity of this condition and its clinical implications.

An application of CO/HCO-free solution (Zero-CO) did not increase intracellular pH (pH) in ciliated human nasal epithelial cells (c-hNECs), leading to no increase in frequency (CBF) or amplitude (CBA) of the ciliary beating. This study demonstrated that the pH of c-hNECs expressing carbonic anhydrase IV (CAIV) is high (7.64), while the pH of ciliated human bronchial epithelial cells (c-hBECs) expressing no CAIV is low (7.
