Na-K-ATPase isoform (alpha 3, alpha 2, alpha 1) abundance in rat kidney estimated by competitive RT-PCR and ouabain binding

Abstract: For understanding the regulation of sodium reabsorption, it is important to know whether the alpha 2- or alpha 3-isoform of Na-K-adenosinetriphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) is expressed in mammalian kidney in addition to the predominant alpha 1 beta 1-isozyme. Here we applied competitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for estimation of mRNA in parenchymal zones of rat kidney for comparison to high-affinity [3H]ouabain binding. The alpha 3-isoform mRNA was demonstrated to form 0.04-0.05% of the amount of alpha 1-iso… Show more

“…1 also show the presence of mRNA for the ␣1 and ␣3 isoforms, but not that for ␣2, again paralleling the results found with reticulocyte RNA (1). It should be noted that the presence of ␣3 in the kidney control has been found before (26).…”

“…The different results most likely reflect ␣-subunit isoform-and cell-specific regulation. In proximal tubule cells, insulin increases the Na ϩ affinity (Féraille et al, 1994) of the predominantly expressed ␣1-isoform of Na ϩ ,K ϩ -ATPase (McDonough et al, 1994;Lü cking et al, 1996), whereas in skeletal muscle cells, insulin increases the cell surface expression (Hundal et al, 1992;Marette et al, 1993) of the predominantly expressed ␣2-isoform (Hsu and Guidotti, 1991).…”
