The effect of extracellular Pi and arsenate on Pi‐transport in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells has been studied. Pi‐transport can be described by Michaelis‐Menten kinetics; the maximal flux equal to 44 mmoles (kg cell water) −1 hour −1 and K m equal to 3.3 × 10 −4 M . Arsenate is a competitive inhibitor of Pi‐transport with an inhibition constant (K i ) equal to 2.41 × 10 −3 M . The data support the hypothesis that cellular Pi is regulated by the cell membrane through the mediation of a carrier system.
