title: V-ATPases of the plasma membrane.
abstract: V-ATPases reside in high densities on the plasma membrane in specialized types of insect and vertebrate cells. They provide unique biochemical and electrophysiological properties that allow them to function in energizing the plasma membrane in insects, and in cellular acid excretion in vertebrates.
