Na,K-ATPase mediated and cardiotonic induced signaling in health and disease
Frontiers in PhysiologyIn the late 1950’s, Na,K-ATPase (NKA) was discovered as the active transport system that establishes and maintains the transmembrane Na+ and K+ gradients necessary for cell survival and function. Almost 70 years later, a novel unexpected function for NKA
