Sodium-potassium ion pump proteins C015 / 9993
Sodium-potassium ion pump proteins, 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 Sodium-potassium ion pump proteins, also known as Sodium-potassium ATPase. The image beautifully captures the complexity and importance of these proteins in maintaining cellular balance. The Sodium-potassium ATPase is a vital component found in all animal cells, responsible for regulating the concentration of potassium and sodium ions within the cell. Against their natural concentration gradient, this remarkable protein pumps these ions in opposite directions across the plasma membrane using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as its power source. In this illustration, set against a pristine white background, we are able to appreciate the detailed structural arrangement of these biomolecules. The space-filled representation highlights how each macromolecule interacts with one another to facilitate active transport. By maintaining high levels of potassium ions and low levels of sodium ions inside the cell, this process ensures proper cellular function and communication. This crucial mechanism allows for various physiological processes such as nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction to occur seamlessly. LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully captured not only the scientific significance but also the artistic beauty within this biological marvel. This print serves as a testament to our ever-growing understanding of cellular biology and reminds us of nature's intricate design at even its smallest scale.
