GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC9A8 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
KIAA0939, NHE8
Description
Solute carrier family 9, subfamily A (NHE8, cation proton antiporter 8), member 8 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Sodium-hydrogen exchangers (NHEs), such as SLC9A8, are integral transmembrane proteins that exchange extracellular Na+ for intracellular H+. NHEs have multiple functions, including intracellular pH homeostasis, cell volume regulation, and electroneutral NaCl absorption in epithelia (Xu et al., 2008 [PubMed 18209477]).[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2009]
