Soluble adenylyl cyclase
- Introducing a novel mechanism to control heart rate in the ancestral Pacific hagfish
Summary: A novel bicarbonate-stimulated, soluble adenylyl cyclase-mediated mechanism to control heart rate in Pacific hagfish (Eptatretus stoutii), together with catecholamine control, explains tachycardia during recovery from anoxia.
- Novel and potential physiological roles of vacuolar-type H+-ATPase in marine organisms
Summary: Recently discovered physiological roles of the vacuolar-type H+-ATPase include base secretion in shark gills, bone dissolution by Osedax worms and a carbon-concentrating mechanism in corals.
