Ca2ATPáz
Ca2ATPáz is a generic term referring to any enzyme that hydrolyzes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to release energy for the active transport of calcium ions (Ca2+) across a biological membrane. These enzymes are a type of P-type ATPase, characterized by their transient phosphorylation during the catalytic cycle. The primary function of Ca2ATPáz is to maintain steep electrochemical gradients of calcium ions across cellular membranes, which is crucial for a wide array of cellular processes.
There are several distinct types of Ca2ATPáz, each with specific cellular localizations and roles. The sarco/endoplasmic
