title: Aspects of parietal cell biology: cells and vesicles.
abstract: Many features of these gastric vesicles satisfy the requirements for the gastric H+ pump. For example, we have: (a) K+ requirement, (b) KA for K+ of about 30 mM; (c) identical cation sequence for tissue and vesicles, (d) similar anion sequence, (e) localization at the microvillus of the secretory canaliculus, (f) TI+ inhibiting H+ transport of both systems, and (g) the K+ gradient satisfying the osmotic gradient requirement for HCl-flow out of the parietal cell. Points that require explanation are lack of SCN- effects and regulation of KCl permeability.
