Abstract excerpt
Na+/K+ ATPase is a plasma membrane-localized sodium pump that maintains the ion gradients between the extracellular and intracellular environments, which in turn controls the cellular resting membrane potential.Recent evidence suggests that the pump is also localized at synapses and regulates synaptic efficacy.However, its precise function at the synapse is unknown. Here we show that two mutations in the alpha...
