Predicted changes in ΔG associated with Ae4 transport assuming that the cation transport pathway does not distinguish between Na+ and K+. (A) ΔG values calculated assuming a 1:1:2 stoichiometry of Cl−:K+ (Na+):HCO3−. The intracellular Cl− (left) and HCO3− (right) were individually changed (from 0.5 to 150 mM) while the other concentrations were kept fixed at either [Cl−]i = 50.1 mM or [HCO3−]i = 19 mM. (B) Proposed model for Ae4-mediated Cl− uptake in secretory acinar cells.
