The story of the sodium-potassium pump has strong ties to Denmark. In 1997, the Danish scientist Jens Chr. Skou received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery, and over the years ...

Research reveals the mechanism of the sodium-potassium pump Date: October 4, 2013 Source: Aarhus University Summary: Researchers have established the structure of a crucial enzyme -- the so-called ...

New York, NY - A toxin isolated from coral reefs has enabled US scientists to better understand exactly how the sodium/potassium ion pump works and may ultimately help them to design molecules to ...

Using a genetic analysis, the researchers have discovered that the disease is caused by a newly occurring mutation in one of the sodium-potassium pump's four forms, known as the Alpha-1 form.

The structure of the sodium-potassium pump is presented in a schematic cell membrane. The extracellular space is situated above and the intracellular space below the figure. The left-hand side of ...

This increases the volume of blood in the blood vessels, which makes the heart pump ... with a real-world problem (hypertension), identified important variables (sodium, potassium), and created ...

Digoxin blocks the sodium/potassium ATPase pump. The mechanism by which this decreases AV conduction is not clear but is perhaps due to increased vagal tone. Intracellular calcium within the ...

This interplay between genetic mutation, ion dysregulation, and resulting neurological dysfunction emphasises the significance of the sodium–potassium pump in maintaining normal ...
