The rabbit kidney possesses mRNA for the H-K-ATPase alpha 1-subunit (HKalpha 1) and two splice variants of the H-K-ATPase alpha 2-subunit (HKalpha 2). The purpose of this study was to determine the specific distribution of one of these, the H-K-ATPase alpha 2c-subunit isoform (HKalpha 2c), in rabbit kidney by immunohistochemistry. Chicken polyclonal antibodies against a peptide based on the NH2 terminus of HKalpha 2c were used to detect HKalpha 2c immunoreactivity in tissue sections. Immunohistochemical localization of HKalpha 2c revealed intense apical immunoreactivity in a subpopulation of cells in the connecting segment, cortical collecting duct, and outer medullary collecting duct in both the outer and inner stripe. An additional population of cells exhibited a thin apical band of immunolabel. Immunohistochemical colocalization of HKalpha 2c with carbonic anhydrase II, the Cl-/HCO<UP><SUB>3</SUB><SUP>−</SUP></UP> exchanger AE1, and HKalpha 1 indicated that both type A and type B intercalated cells possessed intense apical HKalpha 2c immunoreactivity, whereas principal cells and connecting segment cells had only a thin apical band of HKalpha 2c. Labeled cells were evident through the middle third of the inner medullary collecting duct in the majority of animals. Immunolabel was also present in papillary surface epithelial cells, cells in the cortical thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (cTAL), and the macula densa. Thus in the rabbit kidney, apical HKalpha 2c is present and may contribute to acid secretion or potassium uptake throughout the connecting segment and collecting duct in both type A and type B intercalated cells, principal cells, and connecting segment cells, as well as in cells in papillary surface epithelium, cTAL, and macula densa.
