No unique nongastric beta has been identified. Precise in situ colocalization and strong association of AL1 with beta1 of Na,K-ATPase was detected in apical membranes of rodent prostate epithelium.

Rat nongastric H-K-ATPase is expressed at high levels in distal colon surface cell apical membranes and thus is referred to as "colonic." Here we show that the ATPase is expressed in rodent prostate complex in a lobe-specific manner.
