Evolution of extreme stomach pH in bilateria inferred from gastric alkalization mechanisms in basal deuterostomes
The stomachs of most vertebrates operate at an acidic pH of 2 generated by the gastric H(+)/K(+)-ATPase located in parietal cells. The acidic pH in stomachs of vertebrates is believed to aid digestion and to protect against environmental pathogens. Little attention has been placed on whether acidic...
