The activation of K+-NPPase by both Na+ and ATP was inhibited by indomethacin in vitro. 2. Indomethacin concentration required for 50% inhibition was 6.25 X 10(-4) M. 3. Inhibition manners of indomethacin for Na+ and ATP were competitive type and noncompetitive type, respectively. 4. The Ki values for indomethacin for Na+ and ATP were 1.4 X 10(-4) M and 8.8 X 10(-4) M, respectively. 5. The inhibitory effect of indomethacin was reversible.
