The relative contents of Na,K-ATPase subunit mRNAs in rat renal cortex, ventricular myocardium, skeletal muscle (hind limb), liver and brain (cerebrum) were measured. Expressed per unit DNA, mRNA alpha 1 content was approximately 2-fold greater in the kidney and brain as compared to either heart, skeletal muscle or liver. The hierarchy of mRNA alpha 2 expression was brain > skeletal muscle > heart, whereas mRNA alpha 3 was restricted to brain. Beta 1 subunit mRNA content in both kidney and brain exceeded the abundance of liver mRNA beta 1 by approximately 7-fold. In all tissues examined, the combined abundances of the alpha subunit mRNAs exceeded the content of mRNA beta 1. The hierarchy of Na,K-ATPase activity expressed per unit DNA was brain > kidney > skeletal muscle = heart > liver. The sum of mRNA alpha as well as mRNA beta 1 content, expressed per g of tissue, was highest in brain and kidney. A statistically significant correlation between mRNA beta 1 content and Na,K-ATPase activity was evident.
