Gene information for ATP1A4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID480
Official gene symbolATP1A4
Full nameATPase, Na+/K+ transporting, alpha 4 polypeptide
Aliases,ATP1A1,ATP1AL2,MGC25056,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of P-type cation transport ATPases, and to the subfamily of Na+/K+ -ATPases. Na+/K+ -ATPase is an integral membrane protein responsible for establishing and maintaining the electrochemical gradients of Na and K ions across the plasma membrane. These gradients are essential for osmoregulation, for sodium-coupled transport of a variety of organic and inorganic molecules, and for electrical excitability of nerve and muscle. This enzyme is composed of two subunits, a large catalytic subunit (alpha) and a smaller glycoprotein subunit (beta). The catalytic subunit of Na+/K+ -ATPase is encoded by multiple genes. This gene encodes an alpha 4 subunit. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
