ATP1B1, 63-303aa, Human, His-tag, Baculovirus

ATP1B1, also known as ATPase Na+/K+ transporting subunit beta 1, belongs to the family of Na+/K+ and H+/K+ ATPases beta chain proteins, and to the subfamily of Na+/K+ -ATPases. Na+/K+ -ATPase is an integral membrane protein responsible for establishing and maintaining the electrochemical gradients of Na and K ions across the plasma membrane. These gradients are essential for osmoregulation, for sodium-coupled transport of a variety of organic and inorganic molecules, and for electrical excitability of nerve and muscle. The beta subunit regulates, through assembly of alpha/beta heterodimers, the number of sodium pumps transported to the plasma membrane. Recombinant human ATP1B1 protein, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
