Abstract
During exocytosis of the chromaffin granules, ATP is released. ATP can then be hydrolyzed by the ecto-ATPases of the plasma membrane to provide adenosine for reuptake or for activation of P1purinoceptors. Chromaffin granule membranes also possess ATPase activity. This activity is linked to the uptake of catecholamines from the cytoplasm into the membrane-bound granule compartment.In this report we combine EM cytochemistry and immunogold labelling to provide further evidence for the presence of ATPase on both the plasma membrane and granule membranes of bovine chromaffin cells in culture.
