title: Effect of histamine on soluble and membrane-associated carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity of pig and bovine gastric mucosa.
abstract: 1. As part of their characterization, the effect of histamine (H) on both soluble and membrane-associated carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity of pig and bovine gastric light microsomal membranes was investigated. 2. H did not affect the activity of soluble CA purified from pig oxyntic mucosa, whereas 10(-7) and 10(-4) M H produced a significant enhancement of pig gastric firmly-membrane-associated CA activity at 20 and 30 degrees C (about 2-3-fold), but it failed at 0 degree C. The increase of activity produced by H occurred within 1 min and it was maintained for at least 15 min. 3. H also stimulated bovine gastric firmly-membrane-associated CA activity, the stimulation also being dependent on temperature.
