Gene: ATP4A

Alternate names for this Gene: ATP6A

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of P-type cation-transporting ATPases. The gastric H+, K+-ATPase is a heterodimer consisting of a high molecular weight catalytic alpha subunit and a smaller but heavily glycosylated beta subunit. This enzyme is a proton pump that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the exchange of H(+) and K(+) ions across the plasma membrane. It is also responsible for gastric acid secretion. This gene encodes a catalytic alpha subunit of the gastric H+, K+-ATPase.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19q13.12

Description of this Gene: ATPase H+/K+ transporting subunit alpha

Type of Gene: protein-coding
