Na/K Pump Current.Introduction: Steady‐State Na/K pump current (Ip) in adult guinea pig ventricular myocytes was studied to determine the effect on the Na/K pump of transmembrane Na leak, membrane potential, and pipette Na concentration.Methods and Results: Using conventional whole cell, patch clamp techniques, Ipwas identified as either K0‐sensitive or ouabain‐sensitive current when most other membrane currents were inhibited. Control experiments showed that there were no K0‐sensitive currents other than Ipunder the conditions of our experiments. Ipwas found to be similar to that reported by others being voltage dependent between −130 and 0 mV and having a half maximal activation hy Naiof 28 mM. Ouabain sensitivity was also measured, and it was found that there were two binding sites with the high affinity site comprising 5% to 10% of the total and having an apparent affinity 1000‐fold higher than the low affinity site. Apparent affinity of both sites was shifted about 10‐fold (higher affinity) by increasing Naifrom 10 to 85 mM. When internally perfused with 0 Na solution, Na leak through the membrane was found to be linearly related to Na/K pump activity. In contrast to prior suggestions, Ipwas not correlated with series resistance when there was a large transmembrane Na gradient.Conclusion: These data suggest that, under conditions of high transmembrane Na gradient, Na leak through the membrane plays a significant role in determining Na/K pump activity.
