Cation-coupled chloride influx in squid axon. Role of potassium and stoichiometry of the transport process
Evidence is presented showing that the Cl- uptake process in the squid giant axon is tightly coupled not only to Na+ uptake but also to K+ uptake. Thus, removal of external K+ causes both Cl- and Na+ influxes to be reduced, particularly when [Cl-]i is low, that is, under conditions previously shown...
