This article deals with a mass conservation reaction-diffusion system. As a model for studying cell polarity, we are interested in the existence of spike solutions and some properties related to its dynamics. Variational arguments will be employed to investigate the existence questions. The profile of a spike solution looks like a standing pulse. In addition, the motion of such spikes in heterogeneous media will be derived.

Keywords: Reaction-diffusion system, mass conservation, spike solution, cell polarity, localized pattern, standing pulse, invariant manifold.
