A P-type ATPase that undergoes covalent phosphorylation during the transport cycle. This enzyme family comprises three types of Ca2+-transporting enzymes that are found in the plasma membrane, the sarcoplasmic reticulum and in yeast. The first and third transport one ion per ATP hydrolysed, whereas the second transports two ions. Ca2+ is transported from the cytosol [side 1] into the sarcoplasmic reticulum in muscle cells [side 2].
