The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of P-type primary ion transport ATPases characterized by the formation of an aspartyl phosphate intermediate during the reaction cycle. These enzymes remove bivalent calcium ions from eukaryotic cells against very large concentration gradients and play a critical role in intracellular calcium homeostasis. The mammalian plasma membrane calcium ATPase isoforms are encoded by at least four separate genes and the diversity of these enzymes is further increased by alternative splicing of transcripts. The expression of different isoforms and splice variants is regulated in a developmental, tissue- and cell type-specific manner, suggesting that these pumps are functionally adapted to the physiological needs of particular cells and tissues. This gene encodes the plasma membrane calcium ATPase isoform 4. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],

Function:
Alternative products:There is a combination of two alternatively spliced domains at N-terminal site A (X and Z) and at C-terminal site B/C (A, B, D and K). The splice sites have mostly been studied independently. Full isoforms so far detected are isoform XA and isoform XB. Experimental confirmation may be lacking for some isoforms,Catalytic activity:ATP + H(2)O + Ca(2+)(Cis) = ADP + phosphate + Ca(2+)(Trans).,Function:This magnesium-dependent enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the transport of calcium out of the cell.,similarity:Belongs to the cation transport ATPase (P-type) family.,similarity:Belongs to the cation transport ATPase (P-type) family. Type IIB subfamily.,tissue specificity:Isoform XB is the most abundant isoform and is expressed ubiquitously. Isoforms containing segment Z have only been detected in heart, while isoforms containing segment a have been found in heart, stomach and brain cortex.,
