TL;DR: The method for the isolation of the membrane of the toad bladder epithelial cell, the morphology of the isolated membrane, and preliminary determinations of its phosphatase activity are described.
Abstract: There is increasing interest in the structure and composition of cell membranes, and in techniques for their isolation. The following report describes our method for the isolation of the membrane of the toad bladder epithelial cell, the morphology of the isolated membrane, and preliminary determinations of its phosphatase activity. Our interest in isolating the epithelial cell membrane is based on current evidence that the luminal boundary of the cell is the ultimate site of action of vasopressin (I), and that the serosal boundary is associated with active sodium transport (2, 3).

TL;DR: The results show that the effect of vasopressin on the toad bladder involves activation of a cytosolic cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, and this activation is due to intracellular dissociation of the kinase.

TL;DR: Toad PRL obtained is as potent as bovine PRL in promoting collagen synthesis in the bullfrog tadpole tail fin and also closely resembles that of bullfrog PRL.
