## Abstract In this study, we examined the transport mechanisms for guanine and guanosine in rat neurons and astrocytes, and compared their characteristics. In the both types of cell, the uptake of [^3^H]guanine and [^3^H]guanosine was time‐, temperature‐, and concentration‐dependent, and Na^+^‐ind
Astrocytes actively maintain their intracellular pH (pH,) more alkaline than expected by passive distribution of H+. Acid extruding transporters such as the amiloride-sensitive Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) are necessary for pH regulation. Currently, four mammalian NHEs (NHE1-NHE4) have been cloned, with a
