Description
NHE-3 are integral membrane proteins that are expressed in most mammalian tissues, where they regulate intracellular pH and cell volume. NHEs mediate the transport of hydrogen (H+) ions out of cells in exchange for extracellular sodium (Na+) ions. While NHE-1 is ubiquitously expressed, the NHE isoforms 2-8 have distinct tissue- and cell type-dependent expression and inhibitory characteristics. NHE-3 localizes to the apical membrane of renal proximal tubules where it is responsible for most of the sodium transport and fluid reabsorption. NHE-3 translocates to internal pools where it mediates natriuresis when blood pressure increases abruptly. NHE-3 is also expressed in the stomach and functions to protect the mucosa by secreting protons that diffuse into the mucous cells
