Abstract

Ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake and [3H]ouabain binding were used to measure rates of Na+ pumping and the number of pump sites, respectively, in thoracic aortae from opossums. From the number of Rb+ ions pumped per site per minute, estimates of pump turnover have been made. Values obtained are comparable to those of other species (see Table 1).
