The Diversity of Volume Regulatory Mechanisms
Abstract
Mammalian cells utilize a wide variety of cell volume regulatory mechanisms. For rapid adjustment of cell volume cells release or accumulate ions through respective channels and transport systems across the cell membrane. The most widely used mechanisms of cell volume regulatory ion release include ion channels and KCl symport. Ion uptake is most frequently mediated by Na+ channels, Na+, K+, 2Cl- cotransport, and Na+/H+ exchange. Chronic adjustment of cell osmolarity is accomplished by the formation or accumulation of organic osmolytes, molecules specifically designed to create intracellular osmolarity without interfering with cellular function. The most widely occurring osmolytes are sorbitol, inositol, glycerophosphorylcholine, betaine, taurine, and amino acids. The osmolytes are either synthesized by or transported into shrunken cells. During cell swelling osmolytes can be rapidly degraded or released. Any given cell may utilize several volume-regulatory mechanisms. Moreover, different mechanisms are utilized in different tissues. The diversity of cell volume regulatory mechanisms allows the cells to defend the constancy of cell volume against a myriad of challenges with relatively little impairment of cellular function.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
