Table 1. General properties of the t-system membrane in relation to proton movements across it via diffusional fluxes and sodium-proton exchanger system.
Property | Mean ± SEM | n | Range |
---|---|---|---|
Index Rb reflecting the relative importance of diffusional and NHE proton fluxes in determining the pH difference across the membrane at steady state | 0.430 ± 0.045 | 10 | 0.16 to 0.57 |
Proton permeability coefficient PH (×10−4 m/s) | 1.58 ± 0.30 | 7 | 0.33 to 2.79 |
Sodium-proton exchanger density CNHE (pmol/m2) | 339 ± 116 | 7 | 5 to 800 |
