Sodium-potassium ion pump protein F006 / 9656
Sodium-potassium ion pump protein, molecular model. Sodium-potassium ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) is an ATP-powered ion pump found in all animal cells. It is responsible for maintaining the high concentration of potassium ions and low concentration of sodium ions within the cell by pumping these ions in opposite directions across the plasma membrane, against their concentration gradient. This process is a form of active transport

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the Sodium-potassium ion pump protein F006 / 9656. This vital protein, also known as Sodium-potassium ATPase, plays a crucial role in maintaining the delicate balance of potassium and sodium ions within animal cells. The image depicts a white background that accentuates the detailed illustration of this remarkable biological molecule. The protein's alpha helix and beta sheet structures are clearly visible, highlighting its tertiary structure essential for its function. Through active transport powered by adenosine triphosphate (ATP), this ion pump tirelessly shuttles potassium ions into cells while simultaneously expelling sodium ions against their concentration gradient across the plasma membrane. This process is fundamental to cellular health and ensures optimal cell functioning. With applications in biology, research, medicine, and biochemistry, this artwork represents an invaluable tool for scientists studying proteomics and membrane proteins. Its cut-out design allows it to be easily incorporated into various scientific illustrations or medical presentations. As we delve deeper into understanding the complexities of cellular processes like active transport, images like these serve as visual aids that bridge the gap between science and art. LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has beautifully captured this significant molecular model with precision and detail—showcasing both its aesthetic appeal and scientific importance.
