Description
Product Characteristics:
This is the catalytic component of the active enzyme, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the exchange of sodium and potassium ions across the plasma membrane. This action creates the electrochemical gradient of sodium and potassium ions, providing the energy for active transport of various nutrients.
Synonyms: Sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit alpha-1, Sodium pump subunit alpha-1, Sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit beta-1, Sodium/potassium-dependent ATPase subunit beta-1, Sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit alpha-4, Sodium pump subunit alpha-4, Na(+)/K(+) ATPase alpha-1 subunit, ATP1A1, ATP1B1, ATP1B, Na(+)/K(+) ATPase alpha-4 subunit, ATP1A4, ATP1AL2
Target Information: mediates Na+ and K+ transport\, may play a role in regulation of blood pressure [RGD, Feb 2006]
