Where is ATP synthase located?

Posted January 4, 2024


Answer

F-type ATPase is found in every domain in the world and has assisted the survival of organisms in a broad range of habitats. A-type ATPase exists in archaea, and may also live in a few bacterial species due to gene transfer. V-type ATP synthase enzymes are crucial ATP-powered pumps found in eukaryotes and are located mainly in the membranes of vacuoles.
