Ablation of the Evolutionarily Acquired Functions of the <i>Atp1b4</i> Gene Increases Metabolic Capacity and Reduces Obesity

Ablation of the Evolutionarily Acquired Functions of the <i>Atp1b4</i> Gene Increases Metabolic Capacity and Reduces Obesity

In placental mammals, the co-option of vertebrate orthologous <i>ATP1B4</i> genes has profoundly altered the properties of the encoded BetaM proteins, which function as bona fide β-subunits of Na,K-ATPases in lower vertebrates. Eutherian BetaM acquired an extended Glu-rich N-terminal dom...
