Fig. 2. Transporters and enzymes putatively involved in the process of ammonia
excretion in crabs. Note: composition and localization of transporters may
vary between crab species. (1) Na+/K+-ATPase; (2)
K+ channels; (3) Na+/K+/2Cl
co-transporter; (4) Na+/H+ exchanger; (5)
HCO3/Cl exchanger; (6) V-type
H+-ATPase; (7) Carbonic anhydrase (CA); (8) amiloride-sensitive
cation-permeable channel-like structures of the cuticle; (9) Rhesus-like
protein (RhCM), putative ammonium transporter with unknown localization. For
further information please refer to Table
