Gene information for SLC8A3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6547
Official gene symbolSLC8A3
Full namesolute carrier family 8 (sodium/calcium exchanger), member 3
Aliases,NCX3,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the sodium/calcium exchanger integral membrane protein family. Three mammalian isoforms in family 8 have been identified. Na+/Ca2+ exchange proteins are involved in maintaining Ca2+ homeostasis in a wide variety of cell types. The protein is regulated by intracellular calcium ions and is found in both the plasma membrane and intracellular organellar membranes, where exchange of Na+ for Ca2+ occurs in an electrogenic manner. Alternative splicing has been observed for this gene and multiple variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
