Each Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase cycle exports three sodium ions and imports two potassium ions, using ATP and producing net outward positive charge. Thus A. Rapid action-potential repolarization itself is mainly through ion-channel currents; the pump maintains/restores the underlying gradients rather than being the sole rapid repolarizing mechanism.
