Abstract
Cells maintain, by active transport, a high intracellular K+ and low intracellular Na+ relative to the extracellular compartment. Hodgkin and Keynes (1955) showed that active transport of Na+ and K+ required cellular metabolism, and subsequently that it was dependent on the supply of “high-energy” phosphorylated compounds (Caldwell et al. 1960). Skou (1957) was the first to demonstrate that active transport might have an enzymatic basis. From crab nerve he isolated membrane fragments that possessed a Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) enzyme activity that was stimulated by the simultaneous presence of Na+ and K+. It was significant that Skou found that the monovalent cation-stimulated activity was abolished by ouabain, an inhibitor of active Na+ transport (Schatzmann 1953). The enzyme was described as the Na+,K+-dependent ATPase (E.C.3.6.1.3.).
