H+-activated Na+ influx in the ventricular myocyte couples Ca2+-signalling to intracellular pH
- Abstract:
-
Acid extrusion on Na+-coupled pH-regulatory proteins (pH-transporters), Na+/H+ exchange (NHE1) and Na+-HCO3- co-transport (NBC), drives Na+ influx into the ventricular myocyte. This H+-activated Na+-influx is acutely up-regulated at pHi<7.2, greatly exceeding Na+-efflux on the Na+/K+ ATPase. It is spatially heterogeneous, due to the co-localisation of NHE1 protein (the dominant pH-transporter) with gap-junctions at intercalated discs. Overall Na+-influx via NBC is considerably lower, but m...
