Dear sir/madam:

Please, correct the entry on Na+/K+-ATPase. It is incorrect to call it a "Na+/K+ exchanger". This is a common problem that I found teaching in the graduate school programs and in medical school.

Exchanger do not directly use ATP as source of energy. Exchangers are secondary transporting systems. The Na+/K+-ATPase is a primary transporting system. If this term were to be used in here, it should be pointed out that "although sometimes is referred as exchanger" this is incorrect and shoud be used this term only for secondary tranporting systems.

thank you.
