H⁺-transporting ATPases are found in osteoclasts and break down bone during normal bone remodelling.Which of the following types of ATPases are they?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

H⁺-transporting ATPases that are responsible for breaking down bone in osteoclasts are typically vacuolar (V-) ATPases. While H⁺,K⁺-ATPases, H⁺,Na+-ATPases, and Na+,K⁺-ATPases are all types of ATPases, they are not typically associated with bone remodelling in osteoclasts.
