Abstract
Na,K‑ATPase, commonly referred to as the sodium pump, is known for its essential function as an ion pump, which is key for transporting Na+ and K+ across plasma cell membranes. Additionally, Na,K‑ATPase has multiple biological functions, independent of ion pumping, which are involved in regulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation and other processes associated with the development and progression of various diseases; particularly cancer, cardiovascular diseases, nervous system diseases, kidney diseases and lung diseases. As a potential therapeutic target, Na,K‑ATPase may represent a novel strategy for treating these diseases in the future. The present review aims to summarize the role of Na,K‑ATPase in lung diseases.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Medicine Reports is a monthly, peer-reviewed journal available in print and online, that includes studies devoted to molecular medicine, underscoring aspects including pharmacology, pathology, genetics, neurosciences, infectious diseases, molecular cardiology and molecular surgery. In vitro and in vivo studies of experimental model systems pertaining to the mechanisms of a variety of diseases offer researchers the necessary tools and knowledge with which to aid the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.
