The heavy metal cadmium causes nephrotoxicity and alters the transport function of epithelial cells. In the shark rectal gland, chloride secretion is regulated by secretagogues and inhibitors acting through receptors coupled to G proteins and the cyclic AMP-protein kinase A pathway. We examined the
The rectal gland of Squalus acanthias secretes chloride by a mechanism that has been termed "secondary active transport" because it depends on the activity of Na-K-ATPase. As currently described, chloride enters the cell across the basolateral cell membrane via the 2 chloride: sodium: potassium cotr
In the shark rectal gland, basolateral membrane proteins have been suggested as targets for mercury. To examine the membrane polarity of mercury toxicity, we performed experiments in three preparations: isolated perfused rectal glands, primary monolayer cultures of rectal gland epithelial cells, and
