.... There was no relationship between ammonia secretion and Na + reabsorption. These data indicate that increased renal ammonia secretion during acidosis is probably mediated through Rhesus (Rh) glycoproteins and occurs independently of Na + transport, in contrast to branchial and epidermal models of Na + -dependent ammonia...

... in series, both involved in transepithelial Na + transport. Our recent investigations provided conclusive evidence that the H + pump of the frog skin is an H + V-ATPase. In transport studies, Na + absorption and H + secretion were blocked by micromolar concentrations of bafilomycin A 1 or concanamycin...
