basic FUNCTION
| essential for acidification of diverse intracellular compartments |
|
required for urine acidification, and in osteoclasts, playing an important role in bone resorption by acid secretion across the ruffled border membrane |
|
regulator of osteoclast fusion and bone formation |
|
in the epididymis and vas deferens, the vacuolar H(+)ATPase (V-ATPase), located in the apical pole of narrow and clear cells, is required to establish an acidic luminal pH and also participates in the acidification of intracellular organelles |
|
plays an important role in osteoclast maturation and bone formation |
|
important subunit of the V-ATPase proton pump, which regulates bone homeostasis |
|
having a dual function as a regulator of cell fusion in osteoclast differentiation and as an essential component of the osteoclast-specific proton pump that mediates extracellular acidification in bone resorption |
|
required for amino acid signaling to MTOR and functions between amino acids and the nucleotide loading of the Rag GTPases |
|
plays a key role in enamel development, specifically lysosomal acidification |
|
playing a pivotal role in acid-base homeostasis |
|
is a key component of macrophage-specific autophagosome-lysosome fusion machinery maintaining macrophage organelle homeostasis and, in turn, limiting both inflammation and bacterial infection |
