3.6.3.9 |
Accepted name: |
Na+/K+-exchanging ATPase |
Reaction: |
ATP + H2O + Na+in + K+out = ADP + phosphate + Na+out + K+in |
Systematic name: |
ATP phosphohydrolase (Na+/K+-exchanging) |
Comments: |
A P-type ATPase that undergoes covalent phosphorylation during the transport cycle. This is a plasma membrane enzyme, ubiquitous in animal cells, that catalyses the efflux of three Na+ and influx of two K+ per ATP hydrolysed. It is involved in generating the plasma membrane electrical potential. |
