Biomedicine

When studying today I came across a tricky question. How does insulin affect the Sodium-Potassium ATP-ase? After alot of googling I came across this great page from Colorado State University. It explained that indeed insulin affects the Na/K-pump, by increasing the affinity to sodium and overall turnover rate. It would lead to excess potassium intracellularly, which can be fatal.
