Abstract excerpt
The level of the heterodimeric Na,K-ATPase is tightly controlled in epithelia to maintain appropriate transport function. The catalytic Na,K-ATPase alpha subunit is not able to exit the ER or catalyze ion transport unless assembled with the beta subunit. However, requirements for the ER exit of the Na,K-ATPase beta subunit that plays an additional, ion-transport-independent, role in intercellular adhesion are not...
