Proton transport by hepatocyte organelles and isolated membrane vesicles.
It is apparent that proton transport plays an important role in many essential hepatocyte functions. Important unanswered issues include the location of the H+-ATPase and its role in hepatic functions, the regulators of Na+-H+ exchange, the exact role of Na+-H+ exchange in bile formation and in hepatic regeneration, and the role of bile acids such as UDCA and nor-UDCA in mediating transepithelial proton transport.
