    ATP4B ATPase, H+/K+ exchanging, beta polypeptide is No 496 on the NCBI gene list. Apparently, the protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of P-type cation-transporting ATPases. The gastric H+, K+-ATPase is a heterodimer consisting of a high molecular weight catalytic alpha subunit and a smaller but heavily glycosylated beta subunit. This enzyme is a proton pump that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the exchange of H(+) and K(+) ions across the plasma membrane. It is also responsible for gastric acid secretion. This gene encodes the beta subunit of the gastric H+, K+-ATPase.

    No, me neither.

    497 thousand 500 dollars. The amount Eric Clapton's 1956 Sunburst Fender Stratocaster fetched at an auction. A record !!

    501 Darts is a game for two players. Throwing three darts on each turn the first player to reach zero, finishing on either a double or the bull, wins.

    502 - The British Rail Class 502 was a type of electric multiple unit originally built by the London Midland and Scottish Railway at their Derby Works. Introduced in 1940 and withdrawn by 1980, they spent the whole of their working lives on the electrified railway lines of north Liverpool.

    "Raids" ? Apparently he saw that Southampton Water was the best place... and stayed..! The rest is history. One of his descendants still rules us.

    BTW Woopert's , you missed the not-at-all-made-up "Port" the pirate, who arrived in 501 at a place called Portsmouth, and killed a young nobleman. Obviously, he was one of the "small minority" of your lot and not at all representative!

    A myth ith ath good ath a mile!

    Of course it's nonsense. Doesn't take a genius to work out why a settlement at the mouth of a port is called Portsmouth . The A/S chronicle writers were probably thinking you might be feeling a bit left out!
