Abstract
Mg2+-ATPase and (Na+ + K+)-dependent ATPase activities were assayed in the microsomal fractions of the cortex, medulla and papilla of the guinea-pig kidney. Mg2+-ATPase in any part of the kidney was unchanged in the presence of 300 mM urea. (Na+ + K+)-dependent ATPase activity was unchanged in the cortex, but was significantly inhibited in the medulla and papilla by 300 mM urea. Elevated concentrations of Na+ (200 mM) depressed ATPase activity in the microsomal fraction derived from the papilla and medulla, but did not significantly affect the activity in the kidney cortex. Ca2+ (5 mM) caused a significant inhibition of (Na+ + K+)-dependent ATPase in all three parts of the kidney and depressed Mg2+-ATPase activity only in the papilla.
