Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables P-type sodium:potassium-exchanging transporter activity involved in regulation of cardiac muscle cell membrane potential and heparan sulfate proteoglycan binding activity. Involved in several processes, including intracellular sodium ion homeostasis; regulation of cardiac muscle cell membrane potential; and sodium ion export across plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including intracellular signaling cassette; learning or memory; and nervous system development. Located in several cellular components, including neuron to neuron synapse; photoreceptor inner segment; and sarcolemma. Part of sodium:potassium-exchanging ATPase complex. Is active in cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; gonad; heart; and nervous system. Used to study alternating hemiplegia of childhood and bipolar disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alternating hemiplegia of childhood; bipolar disorder; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 99; dystonia 12; and epilepsy. Orthologous to human ATP1A3 (ATPase Na+/K+ transporting subunit alpha 3).
