Potassium-transporting ATPase alpha chain 2 is aprotein that in humans is encoded by theATP12Agene.[5][6][7][8]
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family ofP-type cation transportATPases. This gene encodes a catalytic subunit of theouabain-sensitive H+/K+ -ATPase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the exchange of H+ and K+ ions across the plasma membrane. It is also responsible for potassium absorption in various tissues.[6]
