ATPases transport ions into and out of cells to maintain ion concentration gradients and control aspects of the cellular environment, such as pH. Structural studies of the Na+,K+-ATPase, which transports Na+ and K+, and the H+-ATPase, which transports H+, have provided insights into their functions in eukaryotic cells.
