Medical Definition of Electrogenic pump
1.
Ion pump that generates net charge flow as a result of its activity. The sodium potassium exchange pump transports two potassium ions inward across the cell membrane for each three sodiums transported outward.
This produces a net outward current that contributes to the internal negativity of the cell.
