The sodium–potassium pump (sodium–potassium adenosine triphosphatase, also known as Na + /K +-ATPase, Na + /K + pump, or sodium–potassium ATPase) is an enzyme (an electrogenic transmembrane ATPase) found in the membrane of all animal cells. It performs several functions in cell physiology. The Na + /K +-ATPase enzyme is active (i.e. it ...

Diffusion vs. Transport. In biology, an ion transporter is a transmembrane protein that moves ions (or other small molecules) across a biological membrane to accomplish many different biological functions, including cellular communication, maintaining homeostasis, energy production, etc. [1] There are different types of transporters including pumps, uniporters, antiporters, and symporters.
The sodium–potassium pump is a critical enzyme for regulating sodium and potassium levels in cells. Potassium is the main intracellular ion for all types of cells, while having a major role in maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance. [1] [2] Potassium is necessary for the function of all living cells and is thus present in all plant and ...
The basic function of the Na-K-Cl cotransporter (NKCC). The Na–K–Cl cotransporter (NKCC) is a transport protein that aids in the secondary active transport of sodium, potassium, and chloride into cells. [1]
pump causes rapid onset dystonia parkinsonism; its symptoms indicate that it is a pathology of cerebellar computation. [33] Furthermore, using the poison ouabain to block Na +-K + pumps in the cerebellum of a live mouse induces ataxia and dystonia. [34] Numerical modeling of experimental data suggests that, in vivo, the Na +-K +
Sick cell syndrome is a medical condition characterised by reduced functioning of the cellular Na+/K+ pump, [1] which is responsible for maintaining the internal ion homeostasis. The clinical result is a rise in blood K+ level and drop of blood Na+ levels
