Problem:
Question: why is the answer K+/cl- symporter?
Chloride ion (Cl-) concentrations are approximately 10x higher outside of cells than inside. Imagine you discovered a new protein that was required in liver cells for transporting Cl- out of the cell, and further found that this protein was only active when the Na+/K+ ATPase was active.
Question: Which of the following might you reasonably conclude about the Cl- transporter?
- It could be a Na+/Cl- symporter.
- It could be a K+/Cl- symporter.
- It could be glucose/Cl- antiporter.
- All of the above
Please suggest correct answer.
