Sodium/Potassium-Transporting ATPase Subunit Alpha-2

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme

**Definition:** Sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit alpha-2 (1020 aa, ~112 kDa) is encoded by the human ATP1A2 gene. This protein plays a role in the ATP-dependent creation of an electrochemical gradient of sodium and potassium ions across plasma membranes.
