Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
additional information the alpha-subunit is 2-fold more abundant in seawater-acclimated salt glands than in freshwater-acclimated glands. There is no increase in the specific activity of NKA in seawtaer-acclimated animals and the in vitro rate of oxygen consumption by salt gland slices from seawater-acclimated animals is not significantly different from that of Ffreshwater-acclimated animals Crocodylus porosus
