Description

The Na⁺/K⁺ transporting P-ATPase subunits are involved in the coupled transport of Na⁺ and K⁺ ions against their concentration gradients across the cell membrane. These P-ATPases are composed of a large catalytic alpha subunit and a regulatory beta subunit. (Adapted from FBrf0226459.)

Notes on Group

The H⁺/K⁺-ATPases (proton pumps) evolved only in the vertebrate lineage independently of invertebrates (FBrf0155879).
