Abstract: | A ouabain-insensitive Mg2+-ATPase present in a microsomal fraction prepared from the dog submandibular gland was studied. This Mg2+-ATPase was inhibited by increasing concentrations of NaCl, KCl, RbCl and CsCl. The addition of an osmotically equal amount of sucrose was without effect. This inhibition was obtained over a pH range of from 6.3 to 8.8. The Mg2+-ATPase present in microsomes treated with NaI showed a similar inhibition. These results indicate that it is advisable to keep the ionic strength constant in solutions used to obtain (Na++K+)-ATPase activities. |
