Abstract: | Steady state Cl? flux across the Ehrlich mouse ascites cell membrane was studied when gluconate replaced Cl? in the external medium. Saturation behavior was observed; was 23.9 mM Cl? and V was 758 μmol · g?1 dry weight · h?1. The cells lost K+, Cl? and H2O, consistent with relative impermeability to gluconate, and the Cl? efflux rate coefficient was elevated. The results indicate that a major portion of Cl? exchange occurs as a membrane transport process and suggest that the process is sensitive to intracellular Cl? levels. |
