INSIGHTS INTO THE PATHOLOGY OF THE α2-Na+/K+-ATPase IN NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS; LESSONS FROM ANIMAL MODELS
A functional Na+/K+-ATPase consists of a catalytic α subunit and a regulatory β subunit. Four α isoforms of the Na+/K+-ATPase are found in mammals, each with a unique expression pattern and catalytic activity. The α2 isoform, encoded by the ATP1A2 gene, is primarily found in the central nervous syst...
