Fragmented villi of the small intestine isolated from newborn rats were maintained in culture for periods of up to 4 wk. In culture, floating globular villi and adherent villi were distinguished. Intracellular recordings were made from both types of villi. The membrane potential was highest (.apprx. -70 mV) in the cells at the tip of the villus and was lowest (.apprx. -18 mV) in the cells near the crypt region, showing a continuous gradation according to the cell location. The membrane potential in cultured mature enterocytes was due to the contribution of the electrogenic Na+ pump, as well as to the Ca2+-activated K+ conductance. Both the components were temperature- and metabolic energy-dependent. The Ca2+ transport mechanism and the electrogenic Na+ pump are probably involved in the process of cell differentiation or maturation of the intestinal epithelia.
