The plasma membrane of certain mammalian cells contains a protein called the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger that translocates Na+ and Ca2+ in opposite directions. Although the exchanger was discovered more than twenty years ago,'S2 its contribution to Ca2+ regulation has been difficult to determine because of the lack of a specific inhibitor. Cultured mammalian cells are well suited to assessing the specific contribution of individual transporters to overall Ca2+ regulation by hormones and other external stimuli. By determining the effects of a stimulus on free and total Caz+ as well as 45Ca2+ fluxes, a more reliable picture of Ca2+ regulation may be obtained than would be provided by a single approach. To assess the contribution of Na+-Ca2+ exchange to cellular CaZ+ regulation, it is necessary to determine the effects of manipulating intraand extracellular Na+ concentration. An acute decrease in extracellular Na+, however, may trigger the production of inositol trisphosphate and the release of stored Ca2+, depending on the particular cell type and mammalian specie^.^ External Ca2+ and Mgz+ potentiate the Ca2+-mobilizing response to an abrupt decrease in external Na+. 4 Therefore, a combination of experimental approaches is essential for distinguishing changes in cytosolic free Ca2+([Caz+] J that are caused by CaZ+ influx via the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger from the [Ca2+ Ii changes due to release of stored Caz+ evoked by triggering the Na+-sensitive receptor. Comprehensive studies of Ca2+ regulation indicate that Na+-Ca2+ exchange is plentiful in certain arterial myocytes and renal epithelial cells. The exchanger in arterial myocytes and renal epithelial cells has several kinetic features that are quite similar to those in cardiac myocytes.
