Abstract
- Immunological homology was investigated between Heterosigma akashiwo(a marine alga) Na+‐activated ATPase and animal Na+,K+‐ATPase. The former polypeptide [(1989) Plant Cell Physiol. 30, 923‐928] reacted with anti‐serum raised against the amino‐terminal half of the pig kidney Na+,K+‐ATPase α subunit. It is suggested that the Na+,K+‐ATPase epitope within the amino‐terminal region is conserved in the plant Na+‐activated ATPase, and the region containing the epitope may be important for Na ion transport.
