| Research Abstract |
Teleost fishes are able to live in both fresh water and seawater by means of specialized "ionocytes" in the gill epithelium. Simultaneous immunofluorescence staining of multiple ion-transport proteins revealed morphological variations in ionocytes among teleost species (e.g. rainbow trout, tilapia and zebrafish). Ionocytes possessing apical Na+/H+ exchanger, apical Rh protein, basolateral Na+/K+-ATPase and basolateral Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter are common in fishes.
