- Abstract:
-
The maintenance of a relatively low intracellular Na+:K+ ratio is essential for the functioning of a wide range of cellular processes, and is achieved principally by the activity of the membrane-bound Na+, K(+)-ATPase. Chondrocytes, the cells of articular cartilage, exist in an ionic environment where the free extracellular [Na+] is higher (250-400 mM) than that of most other tissues (approximately 140 mM) owing to the fixed negative charges on glycosaminoglycans in the extracellular matrix. ...
