Is an ortholog of human ATP1B1 (ATPase Na+\/K+ transporting subunit beta 1)\; ATP1B2 (ATPase Na+\/K+ transporting subunit beta 2)\; and ATP1B3 (ATPase Na+\/K+ transporting subunit beta 3). Is predicted to contribute to sodium:potassium-exchanging ATPase activity. Is expressed in the muscle cell and the nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in essential hypertension.
