Not all vacuolar-type H+-ATPases (V-ATPases) are alike; those responsible for H+ movement across plasma membranes contain some different, tissue-specific subunit isoforms. This brief review outlines those that have special relevance to the kidney, and illustrates their importance by describing various human diseases where loss of local proton pump function not only confers a severe phenotype, but has revealed related tissues where these same isoforms are expressed, signifying their physiological importance.
