Reaction: ATP + H2O + Na+[side 1] + K+[side 2] = ADP + phosphate + Na+[side 2] + K+[side 1]
Other name(s): (Na+ + K+)-activated ATPase; Na,K-activated ATPase; Na,K-pump; Na+,K+-ATPase; sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase; Na+/K+-exchanging ATPase
Systematic name: ATP phosphohydrolase (P-type, Na+/K+-exchanging)
Comments: A P-type ATPase that undergoes covalent phosphorylation during the transport cycle. This is a plasma membrane enzyme, ubiquitous in animal cells, that catalyses the efflux of three Na+ and influx of two K+ per ATP hydrolysed. It is involved in generating the plasma membrane electrical potential.
