H+,K+-ATPase is not involved in endolymph pH homeostasis

In endolymph, the calculated electrochemical gradients suggest the presence of active transport of H+ and K+. The presence of H+,K+-ATPase, an active transporter that mediates the exchange of intracellular H+ for extracellular K+, was investigated using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction on rat microdissected inner ear tissues. Distal colon and kidney were used as positive controls. The two H+,K+-ATPase colonic or gastric isoforms were not detected in the rat cochlea and endolymphatic sac. This result suggests that H+,K+-ATPase is not involved in H+ and K+ endolymph homeostasis.
