Question
Chapter 11.4, Problem 3LO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The mechanism by which kidneys assist in the maintenance of the pH level of the blood.
Introduction:
The transport of hydrogen and bicarbonate ions across the membrane channels causes the changes in the pH values. The blood has an acidic environment if the concentration of the hydrogen ions is high in the blood cells present in the capillary network of the blood vessels.
The concentration of the hydrogen ions is balanced by the ammonium ions in the blood. The hydrogen ions concentration is balanced by the levels of the bicarbonate ions and phosphate ions in the tubules of the nephrons and red blood cells in the capillaries.

Molecular Biology Question
You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?
Molecular Biology
