“…The evidence includes the demonstration that secretion can be blocked by furosemide (Case et al, 1982(Case et al, , 1984Martinez and Cassity, 1985a;Novak et al, 1984;Novak and Young, 1986;, and by removal of extracellular C1 (Case et al, 1984;Lundberg, 1958;Murakami et al, 1986;Novak and Young, 1986;Martinez and Cassity, 1985b). Additional evidence includes the demonstration that the secretary system shows a marked preference for Br and Cl over other anions (Case et al, 1982(Case et al, , 1984Novak and Young, 1986), a preference that is characteristic of Na-K-2C1 symports (Ellory et al, 1982), that cytosolic Cl activity is above equilibrium both at rest and during stimulation (Lau and Case, 1986;Martinez and Cassity, 1985a;Mori et al, 1983;Poulsen and Kristensen, 1982), and that six C1 ions are transported per ATP molecule, indicative of a process coupling C1 and Na fluxes in a ratio of 2:1 (Smaje et al, 1986). In salivary glands, however, there is good evidence to show that secretion can persist, albeit at a reduced rate, even when symport activity has been halted, and it is thought that this residual secretion is due to the operation of a Na-H antiport, which concentrates HCO3 in the cytosol, and a Cl-HCO3 antiport, which allows the cytosolic HCO3 to exchange for interstitial C1 (Case et al, 1982(Case et al, , 1984Martinez and Cassity, 1985c;Novak and Young, 1986).…”
