Description

The ATP1B2 gene encodes the beta 2 subunit of the Na+/K+-ATPase, an integral membrane protein responsible for establishing and maintaining the electrochemical gradient of Na+ and K+ ions across the plasma membrane. This subunit is essential for pump assembly, stability, and transport to the cell surface. It is highly expressed in brain, muscle, and heart tissues.

Disease Associations

Mutations & Variants

Hotspot Mutations
Variant Type Frequency Functional Description
c.245G>A (p.Arg82Gln) Missense 0.001% Reduced pump activity; associated with familial hemiplegic migraine
c.1A>G (p.Met1?) Start loss <0.001% Complete loss of protein; linked to epileptic encephalopathy
c.742C>T (p.Arg248*) Nonsense <0.001% Premature truncation; loss of function in severe ataxia
Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Nonsense and start-loss mutations lead to absent or nonfunctional beta 2 subunit, impairing Na+/K+ pump assembly and activity.

Gain of Function (GOF)

No gain-of-function mutations reported for ATP1B2.

Dominant Negative (DN)

Missense mutations (e.g., p.Arg82Gln) may exert dominant-negative effects by forming defective pump complexes.

Pathways

REACT_17015 - Ion transport by P-type ATPases
REACT_13685 - Na+/K+ ATPase pump

Protein Summary

The ATP1B2 protein (beta 2 subunit) is a 290-amino-acid type II membrane glycoprotein with a single transmembrane domain. It associates with the catalytic alpha subunit to form the functional Na+/K+-ATPase. The beta subunit is required for proper folding, membrane targeting, and modulation of pump activity. In the brain, it is also known as the adhesion molecule on glia (AMOG), mediating neuron-glia interactions.
