Unique Regulation of Na-K-ATPase during Growth and Maturation of Intestinal Epithelial Cells

Unique Regulation of Na-K-ATPase during Growth and Maturation of Intestinal Epithelial Cells

Na-K-ATPase on the basolateral membrane provides the favorable transcellular Na gradient for the proper functioning of Na-dependent nutrient co-transporters on the brush border membrane (BBM) of enterocytes. As cells mature from crypts to villus, Na-K-ATPase activity doubles, to accommodate for the...
