Distribution of (Na+,K+)ATPase on the cell membranes of acinar and duct cells of rat parotid gland was investigated quantitatively by immunoelectron microscopy using the post-embedding protein A-gold technique. In acinar cells, ATPase was localized predominantly on the basolateral plasma membranes. A small but significant amount of (Na+,K+)ATPase was, however, detected on the luminal plasma membranes, especially on the microvillar region of the acinar cells; the surface density on the luminal membrane was approximately one third of that on the basolateral membranes. In duct cells, many gold particles were found on the basolateral membrane, especially along the basal infoldings of the plasma membranes, whereas no significant gold particles were found on the luminal plasma membranes, suggesting unilateral distribution of ATPase in duct cells. We suggest that in acinar cells sodium ion is not only transported paracellularly but is also actively transported intracellularly into the luminal space by the (Na+,K+)ATPase located on the luminal plasma membranes, and that water is passively transported to the luminal space to form a plasma-like isotonic primary saliva, while in the duct cells the same ion is selectively re-absorbed intracellularly by (Na+,K+)ATPase found in abundance along the many infoldings of the basal plasma membranes, thus producing the hypotonic saliva.
