[Change in Ca2+ transport in myometrial plasma cell membrane in proton gradient dissipation].

By means of delta pH 14C-methylamine indicator the myometrium vesicle sarcolemma fraction was shown to be capable, while applying a "delta pH-leap", for developing in it a proton transmembrane gradient, dissipating in time. The proton gradient dissipation under Ca ions transmembrane equilibrium concentration is a driving force of these ions transposition against the concentration gradient. The blocking agents of H+ transport--Cd ions and DCCD decrease the proton-dependent 45Ca2+ accumulation in the vesicle sarcolemma fraction. The conclusion has been made about the possibility of Ca2+(H(+)-exchange on the uterus smooth cells sarcolemma. The possible physiological value of this exchange is under discussion.
