Calcium Regulation in the Myometrium of Pregnant Sheep
Abstract
Fractionation of pregnant sheep myometrium has been carried out and the fractions obtained analysed for their marker enzyme content and Ca2+ transporting properties. A fairly pure mitochondrial fraction and a very pure plasma membrane fraction were obtained. Both fractions could accumulate Ca2+ in the presence of ATP but the mechanisms were different, mitochondrial uptake had a high capacity and was inhibited by azide. Plasma membrane uptake …
