The function and evolutionary significance of a triplicated Na,K-ATPase gene in a toxin-specialized insect
BACKGROUND: The Na,K-ATPase is a vital animal cell-membrane protein that maintains the cell’s resting potential, among other functions. Cardenolides, a group of potent plant toxins, bind to and inhibit this pump. The gene encoding the α-subunit of the pump has undergone duplication events in some in...
