Non-redundant role of the α3 isoform of Na <sup>+</sup> ,K <sup>+</sup> -ATPase in neuronal excitability and spiking dynamics
2025-10-26
Abstract excerpt
The Na + ,K + -ATPase (NKA) plays a fundamental role in neuronal excitability by maintaining ionic gradients and contributing to electrogenic resting currents. Among its isoforms, the neuron-specific α3 subunit exhibits a uniquely low affinity for intracellular Na + , weak voltage dependence, and slightly reduced ATP sensitivity compared to the ubiquitous α1 . Although mutations in ATP1A3 are known to cause...
