Target intelligence / Profile preview

Gastric H+, K+-ATPase (H+, K+-ATPase)

Target
H+, K+-ATPase
Molecular classification
Enzyme, Transporter, P-type ATPase
01

Overview

Gastric H+, K+-ATPase, also known as the gastric proton pump, is a membrane-bound enzyme complex responsible for acidifying the stomach contents by exchanging intracellular H+ for extracellular K+ using ATP hydrolysis. It is a key therapeutic target for managing acid-related disorders such as peptic ulcer disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease, and is inhibited by proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).

Other names
Hydrogen/potassium ATPaseGastric proton pumpProton pump
02

Mechanism of action

Irreversible inhibition of H+, K+-ATPase by covalent binding of PPIs to cysteine residues on the alpha subunit.
