Coupling of Anaerobic Metabolism to Anaerobic Sodium Transport: A High Energy Intermediate

Nature volume 218, pages 769–770 (1968)Cite this article

Abstract

IN the isolated urinary bladder of the fresh water turtle, sodium is transported from the mucosal to the serosal surfaces anaerobically as well as aerobically1. The capacity for anaerobic sodium transport is retained by epithelial cell sheets dissected from the intact bladder2. Sodium transport by the bladder has been found to be coupled stoichiometrically to glycolysis and, when sodium is removed from the bathing media, glycolysis diminishes markedly3.
