Plasma membrane P2-type H+-ATPase; pumps protons out of cell; major regulator of cytoplasmic pH and plasma membrane potential; long-lived protein asymmetrically distributed at plasma membrane between mother cells and buds; accumulates at high levels in mother cells during aging, buds emerge with very low levels of Pma1p, newborn cells have low levels of Pma1p; Hsp30p plays a role in Pma1p regulation; interactions with Std1p appear to propagate [GAR+].
