title: Inhibitor of anion transport, DIDS, releases Ca2+ from hepatic microsomes.
abstract: Addition of 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2, 2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) to Ca2+ loaded hepatic microsomal vesicles evoked a dose-dependent release of the accumulated Ca2+. Ca2+ uptake was also inhibited. The effects of DIDS do not seem to be due to the inhibitions of either Cl- or proton fluxes. The results indicate that DIDS inhibits Ca2+ uptake and releases Ca2+ by inhibiting the Ca2+-ATPase and the formation of the phosphorylated intermediate of the enzyme, and that it might interact with a specific site on the vesicle which is involved in the translocation of Ca2+ across the microsomal and mitochondrial membranes.
