A primary function of the H-ATPase (or V-ATPase) is to create an electrochemical proton gradient across eukaryotic cell membranes, which energizes fundamental cellular processes. Its activity allows for the acidification of intracellular vesicles and organelles, which is necessary for many essential cell biological events to occur. In addition, many specialized cell types in various organ systems such as the kidney, bone, male reproductive tract, inner ear, olfactory mucosa, and more, use plasma membrane V-ATPases to perform specific activities that depend on extracellular acidification.

1The traditional view of calcium homeostasis is that it is maintained by two essential reactions. First, changes in extracellular Ca2+ are sensed in several distinct cell types, stimulating the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH), 1,25(OH)(2) D and calcitonin in response to the body's requirement. Second, these calcitropic hormones then act on the calcium-translocating cells of the kidney, bone, and intestine to restore calcium balance.
