abstract：:Previous work provided evidence of Na+/H+ exchanger activity in the apical domain of mouse trophectodermal plasma membranes that provides a route for entry of extracellular Na+ (Manejwala et al., 1989). This activity was hypothesized to contribute to the trans-trophectodermal Na+ flux that is required for blastocoel e...
