Abstract
The sodium pump, Na+-K+-ATPase, possesses two populations of cardiac glycoside-binding sites in cardiac tissue. This has been observed in other tissues such as brain where the two sites have been assigned to isozymes of Na+-K+-ATPase termed alpha and alpha +. In a previous study [Am. J. Physiol. 248 (Cell Physiol. 17): C247-C251, 1985], we were unable to demonstrate the presence of an alpha +-form in guinea pig heart sarcolemmal membranes using antibody probes. In the present study, using similar methodology, we show that dog, but not rat or guinea pig, sarcolemmal membranes contain two immunologically distinct alpha-subunits. The antibody-binding characteristics of dog heart alpha and alpha + are similar to the forms found in brain. The relative abundance of the two isozymes, estimated by labeling the sarcolemmal membranes with fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate, was about equal. We conclude that the two populations of ouabain-binding sites in dog heart may result, at least in part, from the presence of the two isozymes of Na+-K+-ATPase in cardiac tissue of this species.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
