Is a sodium-potassium pump a type of transport protein?
How does the sodium-potassium pump relate to the diet?
The sodium-potassium pump is not directly related to the diet, but consuming a diet high in sodium can affect the functioning of the pump. When there is too much sodium in the body, it can disrupt the balance of sodium and potassium ions, which can affect nerve and muscle function.
