Proton ATPase — This article is about the H+ ATPase. For the H+/K+ ATPase, see Hydrogen potassium ATPase. H+ ATPase is also known as Proton ATPase and Proton pump. Function and location The H+ ATPase or proton pump creates the electrochemical gradients in the… … Wikipedia
Proton pump — This article is about proton pumps in general. For the proton P type ATPase, see proton ATPase. A proton pump is an integral membrane protein that is capable of moving protons across the membrane of a cell, mitochondrion, or other subcellular… … Wikipedia
Proton pump inhibitor — Proton pump inhibitors (or PPI s) are a group of drugs whose main action is pronounced and long lasting reduction of gastric acid production. They are the most potent inhibitors of acid secretion available today. The group followed and has… … Wikipedia

proton pump — n a molecular mechanism that transports hydrogen ions across cell membranes * * * the enzyme in the oxyntic cells of the stomach that causes acid secretion by producing hydrogen ions in exchange for potassium ions. * * * a system for transporting … Medical dictionary
ATPase — ATPases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the decomposition of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a free phosphate ion. This dephosphorylation reaction releases energy, which the enzyme (in most cases) harnesses… … Wikipedia
