The role of calcium in cytoplasmic pH (pH_i) changes was studied using 2',7'-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and 6-)carboxyfluorescein, an internalized fluorescent pH indicator, in cultured porcine thyroid cells. The Ca²⁺ ionophores A23187 [GenBank] and ionomycin stimulated thyroid cell alkalinization. An increase in cytoplasmic free calcium resulted in activation of Na⁺/H⁺ exchange which alkalinized the cells.
