ATP1B2 Blocking Peptide(C-term)

Peptides; Blocking Peptides

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family ofNa+/K+ and H+/K+ ATPases beta chain proteins, and to the subfamilyof Na+/K+ -ATPases. Na+/K+ -ATPase is an integral membrane proteinresponsible for establishing and maintaining the electrochemicalgradients of Na and K ions across the plasma membrane. Thesegradients are essential for osmoregulation, for sodium-coupledtransport of a variety of organic and inorganic molecules, and forelectrical excitability of nerve and muscle. This enzyme iscomposed of two subunits, a large catalytic subunit (alpha) and asmaller glycoprotein subunit (beta). The beta subunit regulates, through assembly of alpha/beta heterodimers, the number of sodiumpumps transported to the plasma membrane. The glycoprotein subunitof Na+/K+ -ATPase is encoded by multiple genes. This gene encodes abeta 2 subunit.
