University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This study presented evidence for the existence of a membrane-bound, sodium-activated ATPase which does not require potassium ions for its activity. Furthermore, the data suggest the presence of a soluble factor which activates this enzyme and may play a regulatory role in sodium transport.
