Relation between Ca2+ uptake and ATPase activity in the particulate fractions of the eggshell gland mucosa of the domestic fowl and duck.
The relation between the rates of ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake and ATP hydrolysis was studied in homogenates of eggshell gland mucosa and its subcellular fractions from the domestic fowl and duck. The Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase activity was 5-10% of that of the "basal" Mg2+-ATPase at an optimal Ca2+ concentration in the subfractions. The presence of K+ and/or Na+ increased the rate of Ca2+ uptake and the Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase activity; the effects of K+-Na+ were not inhibited by ouabain. The Ca/P ratio varied with the experimental conditions. At 10(-4) M Ca2+ and in the absence of K+ Na+ it was 0.8, and in their presence 0.4.
