title: Parathyroid hormone stimulates ATP-dependent calcium pump activity by a different mode in proximal and distal tubules of the rat.
abstract: A new technique was developed to isolate basolateral membrane vesicles individually from proximal and distal tubules of the rat cortex. This new technique enabled us to study differences in their kinetics and mechanisms of hormonal regulation of Ca pump between proximal and distal tubules. The Ca pump in distal tubule has very high affinity (42.6 nM Ca2+) and the one in proximal tubule has relatively low affinity (75.6 nM Ca2+). Parathyroidectomy (PTX) decreased the Vmax of Ca pump activity in proximal tubule (4.68 +/- 0.99 vs. 9.08 +/- 2.21 nmol 45Ca2+/min per mg protein BLMV, P less than 0.05), while it increased Km in distal tubule (93.1 +/- 11.0 vs. 35.1 +/- 16.1 nM Ca2+, P less than 0.05). Restoration of serum Ca2+ concentration by 1,25(OH)2D3 supplement could not reverse these changes by PTX in Ca pump activity in either the proximal or the distal tubule. In conclusion, this study strongly suggested that parathyroid hormone stimulated Ca pump activity by increasing the Vmax in proximal tubule and by increasing the affinity in distal tubule. 1,25(OH)2D3 does not have a direct effect on the basolateral membrane Ca pump activity.
