Sodium Ion Concentration Gradient (Na+ Gradient)
- Target
- Na+ Gradient
- Molecular classification
- Electrochemical Gradient, Ion Gradient
01
Overview
The sodium ion concentration gradient across the cell membrane is the difference in sodium ion (Na+) concentrations between the inside and outside of a cell, with a higher concentration outside. This gradient is crucial for maintaining membrane potential, driving secondary active transport, and enabling electrical signaling. It is primarily maintained by the sodium-potassium ATPase pump.
