Gene ID: 6548, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: APNH; NHE1; LIKNS; NHE-1; PPP1R143

Summary

This gene encodes a Na+/H+ antiporter that is a member of the solute carrier family 9. The encoded protein is a plasma membrane transporter that is expressed in the kidney and intestine. This protein plays a central role in regulating pH homeostasis, cell migration and cell volume. This protein may also be involved in tumor growth. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
