What Techniques Are Used to Study Sodium Potassium Pumps in Histology?
Several techniques are employed to study sodium-potassium pumps in histology. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is commonly used to visualize the distribution and expression of these pumps within tissues. Fluorescent tagging and confocal microscopy provide detailed images of their localization. Additionally, electron microscopy can reveal the ultrastructural details of the plasma membrane where these pumps are embedded.
