SLC24A6, NCKX6, NCLX, Sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger 6, Na(+)/K(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange protein 6, Solute carrier family 24 member 6
SLC24A6 belongs to a family of potassium-dependent sodium/calcium exchangers that maintain cellular calcium homeostasis through the electrogenic countertransport of 4 sodium ions for 1 calcium ion and 1 potassium ion (Cai and Lytton, 2004 [PubMed 14625281]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008],function:Transports Ca(2+) in exchange for either Li(+) or Na(+), explaining how Li(+) catalyzes Ca(2+) exchange. In contrast to other members of the family its function is independent of K(+).,miscellaneous:Strongly inhibited by zinc.,similarity:Belongs to the sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger family. SLC24A subfamily.,
