Calcium uptake by placental plasma membrane vesicles
Abstract
The placental plasma membrane vesicles are capable of accumulating up to 190 mM Ca2+. This is 24-fold higher than the external Ca2+ concentration. This process is dependent on ATP hydrolysis by the placental Ca2+-ATPase. The Pi/Ca ratio is dependent on the external Ca2+ concentration, and reaches the value of 2 at 10 mM Ca2+. Phosphate (5 mM) can double Ca2+ uptake when measured in the presence of 5 mM Ca2+. Mg2+ increased Ca2+ uptake only at low Ca2+ concentrations, and had no significant effect at 5 mM Ca2+.
