SLC9A6 solute carrier family 9 member A6

Gene ID: 10479, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MRSA; NHE6; MRXSCH

Summary

This gene encodes a sodium-hydrogen exchanger that is amember of the solute carrier family 9. The encoded protein localizes to early and recycling endosomes and may be involved in regulating endosomal pH and volume. Defects in this gene are associated with X-linked syndromic cognitive disability, Christianson type. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]
