Abstract: | Background Ion transport proteins generate small electric fields that can induce directional cell motility; however, little is known
about their mechanisms that lead to directedness. We investigated Na, K-ATPase (NaKA) and Na+/H+ exchanger isoforms (NHE1
and 3) in SaOS-2 and Calvarial osteoblasts, which present anode- and cathode- directed motility, during electrotaxis. |
