Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and alkali metal ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to steroid hormone stimulus; locomotory exploration behavior; and response to auditory stimulus. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including forebrain development; regulation of blood circulation; and regulation of muscle contraction. Located in T-tubule; cell projection; and neuronal cell body. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in cell surface; endoplasmic reticulum; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; musculature; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study familial hemiplegic migraine 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alternating hemiplegia of childhood; electroclinical syndrome (multiple); hypertension; and migraine with aura (multiple). Orthologous to human ATP1A2 (ATPase Na+/K+ transporting subunit alpha 2).
