Description

AI-generatedUnreviewed
The ATPase alpha/beta chains family is characterized by its fundamental role in cellular energy metabolism. Members of this family are involved in the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) utilizing a proton gradient across a membrane. This process is essential for a wide range of cellular activities, as ATP serves as a universal energy currency in living organisms. The family includes ATP synthase subunits that form the catalytic core of F-type ATPases, which are found in various cellular locations including mitochondria, chloroplasts, and bacterial plasma membranes. These ATPases consist of multiple subunits, with the alpha and beta subunits constituting the catalytic core where ATP synthesis is coupled to proton translocation through a rotary mechanism of the central stalk subunits.
