Synonyms CNC, Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange protein 1, Na+/Ca++ exchanger + [6] |
Introduction Mediates the exchange of one Ca(2+) ion against three to four Na(+) ions across the cell membrane, and thereby contributes to the regulation of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels and Ca(2+)-dependent cellular processes (PubMed:1374913, PubMed:11241183, PubMed:1476165). Contributes to Ca(2+) transport during excitation-contraction coupling in muscle (PubMed:1374913, PubMed:11241183, PubMed:1476165). In a first phase, voltage-gated channels mediate the rapid increase of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels due to release of Ca(2+) stores from the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:1374913, PubMed:11241183, PubMed:1476165). SLC8A1 mediates the export of Ca(2+) from the cell during the next phase, so that cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels rapidly return to baseline (PubMed:1374913, PubMed:11241183, PubMed:1476165). Required for normal embryonic heart development and the onset of heart contractions (By similarity). |
