Cone of light an ear disorder, as it could be due to the slope of the tympanic membrane or the shape of the ear canal. However, distortions in the cone of light can also be a sign of increased inner ear pressure or otitis media. Cone of light The cone of light, or light reflex, is a visible phenomenon which occurs upon examination of the tympanic membrane with an otoscope. Shining light on the tympanic membrane causes a cone-shaped reflection of light to appear in the anterior inferior quadrant. This corresponds to the 4 o'clock to 5 o'clock position in the right eardrum
Plasma membrane H+-ATPase Plasma membrane H+-ATPase This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides to catalyse transmembrane movement of substances. To be specific, the protein is a part of the P-type ATPase family. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP phosphohydrolase (-exporting). -exporting ATPase is also known as proton ATPase or more simply proton pump. Other names in common use include proton-translocating ATPase, yeast plasma membrane -ATPase, plant plasma membrane -ATPase, yeast plasma membrane ATPase, plant plasma membrane ATPase, and ATP phosphohydrolase. The yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) enzyme is encoded by the gene Pma1 and hence
