NCIt definition : ATPases are a group of enzymes that catalyze ATP hydrolysis coupled with another function
such as transporting Ca(2 ) across a membrane. These enzymes may be dependent on Ca(2
), Mg(2 ), anions, H , or DNA. Many structural (e.g. myosin) and transport (e.g. ion
pump) proteins include an ATPase domain.;
