Target intelligence / Profile preview

Hydrogen-potassium ATPase (H⁺/K⁺-ATPase)

Target
H⁺/K⁺-ATPase
Molecular classification
P-type ATPase, P2-type ATPase, Enzyme, Transporter
01

Overview

Hydrogen-potassium ATPase plays a central role in digestive physiology through its unique ability to generate highly acidic conditions within the stomach while maintaining cellular ionic balance. Its structure-function relationship underpins both normal gastrointestinal function and therapeutic intervention strategies targeting excessive or pathological acid production.

Other names
Gastric proton pumpProton pump
02

Mechanism of action

Covalent binding to cysteine residues of H⁺/K⁺-ATPase, inhibiting its activity and reducing gastric acid secretion.
