Answer:

protein pump

Step-by-step explanation:

This protein pump, also known as the Na+/K+ pump or Na+/K+-ATPase, is located in the cell membrane of neurons (and other animal cells). It works by transporting sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane in a 3:1 ratio of sodium ions out to potassium ions in.
