Entrez gene ID23315
Official gene symbolSLC9A8
Full namesolute carrier family 9 (sodium/hydrogen exchanger), member 8

Gene summarySodium-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]
