Calcium ATPase

Calcium ATPase is an important protein found in cell membranes that helps regulate calcium levels within cells. It uses energy from a molecule called ATP to pump calcium ions out of the cell or into specific compartments within the cell. This process is crucial for various bodily functions, including muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, and maintaining the overall health of cells. By controlling calcium levels, Calcium ATPase ensures that cells can respond appropriately to signals and maintain their balance, which is vital for proper functioning of the heart, nerves, and many other systems in the body.
