Multiple forms of the catalytic subunit of the (Na+,K+)ATPase have been identified in rat brain. While two of them (alpha 1 and alpha 2) have been well characterized, the third form (alpha 3) of these catalytic subunits only recently has been described by cDNA cloning; the corresponding polypeptide has not been isolated. In this paper it is shown that rat brain contains the alpha 3 chain. The catalytic subunits of the (Na+, K+)ATPase from rat brain axolemma were purified by SDS-PAGE and subjected to formic acid cleavage. Amino acid sequence analysis of the resulting fragments revealed that axolemma has the alpha 3 form of the catalytic subunit. In addition, alpha 3-specific antiserum was raised in rabbits immunized with a synthetic peptide. Immunoblotting with this antiserum revealed that the alpha 3 form of the (Na+,K+)ATPase is present also in whole brain microsomes. In SDS-PAGE, the mobilities of the three catalytic subunits of brain (Na+, K+)ATPase follow the order alpha 1 greater than alpha 2 greater than alpha 3. Determination of the ouabain-inhibitable ATPase activity indicates that if the alpha 3 form of the (Na+,K+)ATPase is able to hydrolyze ATP, it is present in a form of the enzyme with a high affinity for this cardiac glycoside and is similar to the alpha 2 form in this respect.
