Center for Oral Biology, Aab Institute of Biomedical Sciences and the Eastman Department of Dentistry, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, New York 14642, USA
J Biol Chem 277:29036-44. 2002..NHX-4 has a K(a) for Na+ of approximately 32 mm, is not Cl- -dependent, and is relatively insensitive to the amiloride analog EIPA...
A novel mitochondrial K(ATP) channel assayAndrew P Wojtovich
Department of Pharmacology, University of Rochester Medical Center, 601 Elmwood Ave, Rochester, NY 14642, USA
Circ Res 106:1190-6. 2010..The validity of current methods to assay mK(ATP) activity is disputed...

J Biol Chem 273:8268-77. 1998..elegans suggests that mucin O-glycosylation is catalyzed by a complex gene family, which is conserved among evolutionary-distinct organisms...
Defective fluid secretion and NaCl absorption in the parotid glands of Na+/H+ exchanger-deficient miceK Park
Center for Oral Biology, Rochester Institute of Biomedical Sciences, and the Eastman Department of Dentistry, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, New York 14642, USA
J Biol Chem 276:27042-50. 2001..These results also demonstrate that basolateral NHE1 and apical NHE2 modulate saliva secretion in vivo, especially during sustained stimulation when secretion depends less on Na(+)/K(+)/2Cl(-) cotransporter activity...
