Herbert ('56) studied in some detail an enzyme of human red blood cell membranes which could liberate inorganic phosphate from adenosine triphosph ate (ATP). Post, et al. ('60) collected evidence favoring the hypothesis that this enzyme is involved in sodium and potassium transport. The ATPase was s

โฆ Synopsis
Several authors have proposed "carrier mechanisms" for sugar transport in human erythrocytes (Le Fevre, '54; Wilbrandt, '54; Widdas, '52) and in rabbit erythrocytes (Park et al., '56). Although the proposed site of interaction of membrane and sugar has not been identified, some of its properties are known, i.e., phloretin and phloridzin act as competitors with sugar for the carrier in human erythrocytes according to Le Fevre ('54). While studying the properties of a phosphatase of rabbit erythrocyte stromata with adenosine triphosphate as substrate, it was determined that phloretin, phloridzin, and glucose inhibit the phosphatase activity. There is a similarity between the inhibitory capacities of these substances as measured in these investigations and their relative affinities for the "carrier" as measured by Le Fevre ('54).

The urinary bladder requires an adequate energy supply to maintain contractile function. The primary metabolic fuel is glucose. Through glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, high energy phosphates are generated, which in turn supply the metabolic energy for the contractile activities of the urin
