Abstract
The epithelial cells of the choroid plexus secrete fluid at a very high rate. Therefore, the modest-sized tissue has been studied for decades as a model for epithelial secretion. It was soon observed that the choroid plexus epithelium differs from many other secretory epithelia in the overall orchestration of main ion transport mechanisms, most prominently the luminal membrane expression of the Na+,K+-ATPase. A renewed interest in the mechanisms of ion and fluid transport of the tissue has emerged in the recent years. This development is spurred by the aspiration for therapeutic control of cerebrospinal fluid secretion in diseases with disturbed fluid or ionic balance in the central nervous system. This chapter describes long-established features of choroid plexus ion transport, emerging areas of research in the choroid plexus physiology as well as issues of current controversy.
