Since this ion movement is contrary to the concentration gradient for each ion, it requires the use of energy, hence the atpase function of the pump. Because of its importance in many basic and specialized cellular functions, this enzyme must be able to adapt to changing cellular and physiological stimuli. If this pump stops working as occurs under anoxic conditions when atp is lost.
In some countries this may not be legally possible. They harness the energy released from the breakdown of the phosphate bond and utilize it to perform other cellular reactions. The sodiumpotassiumatpase, also known as the nak pump or the sodium pump, is the protein responsible for the atpdependent, coupled transport of sodium and potassium ions across the plasma membrane. The na, k atpase or sodium pump carries out the coupled extrusion and uptake of na and k ions across the plasma membranes of cells of most higher eukaryotes.
