Description
Product Characteristics:
Rapidly transports Ca(2+) during excitation-contraction coupling. Ca(2+) is extruded from the cell during relaxation so as to prevent overloading of intracellular stores (By similarity).
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: NCX2, Sodium/calcium exchanger 2, Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange protein 2, Solute carrier family 8 member 2, SLC8A2, KIAA1087
Target Information: isoform 2 of sodium/calcium exchanger, regulates intracellular calcium levels and maintains calcium homeostasis, may be important for the control of synaptic plasticity
