The sodium–potassium pump (sodium–potassium adenosine triphosphatase, also known as Na+/K+-ATPase, Na+/K+ pump, or sodium–potassium ATPase) is an enzyme...

are used to help maintain membrane polarity with the help of the sodium potassium pump, and are paired with water to thin the mucus of the airway lumen...

impulse transmission. For example, the sodium-potassium pump uses ATP to pump sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell, maintaining a concentration...

The functions of potassium and sodium in living organisms are quite different. Animals, in particular, employ sodium and potassium differentially to...

allows an inward flow of sodium, thereby counteracting the sodium-potassium pump, but, because overall sodium and potassium concentrations are much higher...

means of the sodium–potassium pump, living human cells pump three sodium ions out of the cell in exchange for two potassium ions pumped in; comparing...

As potassium moves out of the cell the potential within the cell decreases and approaches its resting potential once more. The sodium potassium pump works...

contractile force of the heart. Sodium–potassium pump Active transport Cardiac action potential Potassium-dependent sodium-calcium exchanger Yu SP, Choi...

movement of potassium and sodium through the cell membrane is mediated by the Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase pump. This ion pump uses ATP to pump three sodium ions out of...

clinical deficits. Malfunction of the sodium-potassium pump may be a factor in some ataxias. The Na+ -K+ pump has been shown to control and set the intrinsic...

roles in the sodium-potassium pump, a transmembrane ATPase that pumps three sodium ions out of the cell for every two potassium ions it pumps into the cell...

potassium (and sodium) gradients are established by the Na+/K+-ATPase (sodium-potassium pump) which transports 2 potassium ions inside and 3 sodium ions...

transport mechanism). For example, the sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) ions are maintained by the sodium-potassium pump which uses energy (in the form of adenosine...

Sodium–potassium alloy, colloquially called NaK (commonly pronounced /næk/), is an alloy of the alkali metals sodium (Na, atomic number 11) and potassium...

sodium-potassium pump (Na+/K+-ATPase), the proton-potassium pump (H+/K+-ATPase), the calcium pump (Ca2+-ATPase) and the plasma membrane proton pump (H+-ATPase)...

tangles). Current theories include the non-selective blockade of sodium-potassium pumps in the brain causing osmotic imbalances or swelling in the cells...

autoimmune mechanisms. Malfunction of the sodium-potassium pump may be a factor in some dystonias. The Na+ -K+ pump has been shown to control and set the...

allow marine vertebrates to drink seawater. Active transport via sodium–potassium pump, found on the basolateral membrane, moves salt from the blood into...

concentrations. The few ions that do cross are pumped out again by the continuous action of the sodium–potassium pump, which, with other ion transporters, maintains...

redistributing it into cells via increased sodium-potassium pump activity. A large part of the shifted extracellular potassium would have been lost in urine because...

enough energy to sustain the sodium/potassium pump. Such questions became even more urgent as dozens of new metabolic pumps were added as new chemical gradients...

against their gradient. One of the most important pumps in animal cells is the sodium potassium pump, that operates through the following mechanism: binding...

is created by sodium–potassium pumps in the cell membrane, which pump sodium ions out of the cell, into the ECF, in return for potassium ions which enter...

potential (−70 mV in neuron). Sodium (Na+) and potassium ions inside and outside the cell are moved by a sodium potassium pump, ensuring that electrochemical...

been studying the pumping of sodium and potassium in red blood cells. Post had recently discovered that three sodium ions were pumped out of the cell for...

Palytoxin targets the sodium-potassium pump protein by locking it into a position where it allows passive transport of both sodium and potassium ions, thereby...

function of the inner segment is to provide ATP (energy) for the sodium-potassium pump. Finally, closest to the brain (and farthest from the field of view)...

sodium-dependent glucose transporter found in the small intestine and kidney use the sodium gradient created in the cell by the sodium potassium pump...

decrease its rate of contractions by inhibiting the cellular sodium-potassium ATPase pump. Their beneficial medical uses include treatments for congestive...

mode of Purkinje cells is set and controlled by the sodium-potassium pump. This suggests that the pump might not be simply a homeostatic, "housekeeping"...
