The presence and distribution of the transport protein complex Na+,K+-ATPase in the human endolymphatic sac (ES) was demonstrated immunohistochemically using a monoclonal antibody directed toward the denatured catalytic subunit of Na+,K+-ATPase from lamb kidney medulla. Our findings support an active transcellular ion exchange by the ES epithelium with subsequent passive transcellular and paracellular outflow of water. The possible role of the lateral intercellular spaces in the outflow of endolymph at the level of the ES is discussed.

D007474 Ion Exchange Reversible chemical reaction between a solid, often one of the ION EXCHANGE RESINS, and a fluid whereby ions may be exchanged from one substance to another. This technique is used in water purification, in research, and in industry. Exchange, Ion
D007758 Ear, Inner The essential part of the hearing organ consists of two labyrinthine compartments: the bony labyrinthine and the membranous labyrinth. The bony labyrinth is a complex of three interconnecting cavities or spaces (COCHLEA; VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH; and SEMICIRCULAR CANALS) in the TEMPORAL BONE. Within the bony labyrinth lies the membranous labyrinth which is a complex of sacs and tubules (COCHLEAR DUCT; SACCULE AND UTRICLE; and SEMICIRCULAR DUCTS) forming a continuous space enclosed by EPITHELIUM and connective tissue. These spaces are filled with LABYRINTHINE FLUIDS of various compositions.

D000254 Sodium-Potassium-Exchanging ATPase An enzyme that catalyzes the active transport system of sodium and potassium ions across the cell wall. Sodium and potassium ions are closely coupled with membrane ATPase which undergoes phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, thereby providing energy for transport of these ions against concentration gradients.
