Sodium ions bind to the pump and a phosphate group from atp attaches to the pump, causing it to change its shape. In each cycle, three sodium ions exit the cell, while two potassium ions enter the cell. The membrane potential is always negative inside the cell, and varies in size from 20 to 200 mv. Na is listed in the worlds largest and most authoritative dictionary database of abbreviations and acronyms the free dictionary. Nak pumps function to create a gradient between na and k ions. The sodium potassium pump system moves sodium and potassium ions against large concentration gradients. It works constantly in the background to maintain the intracellular and extracellular sodium and potassium ion concentrations and is therefore essential for electrical activity in nerve cells see ch.

Characterisation of the na, k pump current in atrial cells from patients with and without chronic atrial fibrillation. The sodiumpotassium pump goes through cycles of shape changes to help maintain a negative membrane potential. This unbalanced charge transfer contributes to the separation of charge across the membrane. In particular, it plays a very important role in nerve cell membranes.
