Gene:
ATPase, H+/K+ transporting, nongastric, alpha polypeptide
Gene ID:
196672
Symbol:
ATP12A
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of P-type cation transport ATPases. This gene encodes a catalytic subunit of the ouabain-sensitive H+/K+ -ATPase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the exchange of H(+) and K(+) ions across the plasma membrane. It is also responsible for potassium absorption in various tissues.
