Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables ATPase activator activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including monoatomic cation transmembrane transport; protein stabilization; and regulation of cardiac muscle contraction by calcium ion signaling. Acts upstream of or within blastocyst development. Located in several cellular components, including basolateral plasma membrane; intercalated disc; and sarcolemma. Part of sodium:potassium-exchanging ATPase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; heart and pericardium; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in essential hypertension. Orthologous to human ATP1B1 (ATPase Na+/K+ transporting subunit beta 1).
