abstract：:The alpha and beta subunits of Na-K-ATPase are up-regulated by hypertonicity in inner-medullary collecting duct cells adapted to survive in hypertonic conditions. We examined the regulation of the gamma subunit by hypertonicity. Although cultured inner-medullary collecting duct cells lacked the gamma subunits, both va...
