A study of sodium-plus-potassium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase and its role in osmoregulation in the gills of the eel, Anguilla anguilla

Osmoregulation in the eel requires that NaCl is pumped across the gill epithelium, inwards in the freshwater eel and outwards in the seawater eel. It has been proposed that the transfer of NaCl takes place in mitochondria-rich "chloride cells" and is effected by (Na++ K+)-dependent ATPase....
