SLC24A3, NCKX3, Sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger 3, Na(+)/K(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange protein 3, Solute carrier family 24 member 3
Plasma membrane sodium/calcium exchangers are an important component of intracellular calcium homeostasis and electrical conduction. Potassium-dependent sodium/calcium exchangers such as SLC24A3 are believed to transport 1 intracellular calcium and 1 potassium ion in exchange for 4 extracellular sodium ions (Kraev et al., 2001 [PubMed 11294880]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008],function:Transports 1 Ca(2+) and 1 K(+) in exchange for 4 Na(+).,similarity:Belongs to the sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger family. SLC24A subfamily.,tissue specificity:Abundant in the brain. Expressed at low levels in the aorta, uterus and intestine.,
