Properties and Expression of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase α-Subunit Isoforms in the Brain of the Swamp Eel, Monopterus albus, Which Has Unusually High Brain Ammonia Tolerance

The swamp eel, Monopterus albus, can survive in high concentrations of ammonia (>75 mmol l(−1)) and accumulate ammonia to high concentrations in its brain (∼4.5 µmol g(−1)). Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase (Nka) is an essential transporter in brain cells, and since NH(4) (+) can substitute for K(+) to activate...
