Absorption and
secretion of ions in gastrointestinal and other epithelial tissues
require the concerted activities of ion pumps, channels, symporters,
and exchangers, which operate in coupled systems to mediate
transepithelial transport. Our understanding of the identities,
membrane locations, and biochemical activities of epithelial ion
transporters has advanced significantly in recent years, but major gaps
and uncertainties remain in our understanding of their physiological
functions. Increasingly, this problem is being addressed by the
analysis of mutant mouse models developed by gene targeting. In this
review, we discuss gene knockout studies of the secretory isoform of
the Na+-K+-2Cl
cotransporter, isoforms 1, 2, and 3 of the
Na+/H+ exchanger, and the colonic
H+-K+-ATPase. This approach is leading to a
clearer understanding of the functions of these transporters in the
living animal.
