Proton pumps in fish gill pavement cells?
Abstract
The gill epithelium which comprises several types of cell faces multiple functions (O2/CO2 transfer, acid-base balance and ionic regulation). Little is known of the respective cellular localization of these functions. TEM examination of the catfish gill shows, in pavement cells, cytoplasmic vesicles and apical pits, both ornamented with studs reminiscent of the proton pumps observed in H+ secretory epithelia. Ornamented apical pits are more …
