Na+,K+-ATPase

widely distributed enzyme consisting of two large α-subunits and two smaller β-subunits, whose function is to transport Na+ and K+ against their concentration gradients using hydrolysis of ATP as the thermodynamic couple. The stoichiometry of exchange is two K+ for every three Na+ pumped. Often called the sodium pump.
