• belongs to the cation transport ATPase (P-type) family, type IIC subfamily

Compartment

• membrane

Alternative-splicing

• named isoforms=2

Expression

• highly expressed in testis
• found in very low levels in skeletal muscle

More General Terms

• Na+/K+ ATPase-alpha

Additional Terms

• Na+/K+ ATPase
