In histology, the K-ATPase pump can be studied using various techniques:
- Immunohistochemistry: This method uses antibodies specific to the pump's subunits to visualize its distribution in tissue sections. - Electron Microscopy: High-resolution imaging techniques can reveal the ultrastructural details of the pump within the cell membrane. - Fluorescence Microscopy: Fluorophore-tagged antibodies or fusion proteins can be used to study the pump's localization and dynamics in living cells.
