Product Description

MA3928A488 detects sodium/potassium ATPase alpha from human, mouse, bovine, sheep, canine, chicken and porcine tissues. This antibody detects the alpha 3 isoform in rat only. The MA3928A488 antigen is purified sheep kidney alpha sodium/potassium ATPase. This antibody recognizes an epitope between amino acid residues 646 and 652 of the sheep kidney alpha sodium/potassium ATPase. The 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 1 subunit. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
