The encoded protein belongs to the SLC24 branch of exchangers, which can mediate the extrusion of one Ca2+ ion and one K+ ion in exchange for four Na+ ions. This family member is a retinal cone/brain exchanger that can mediate a light-induced decrease in free Ca2+ concentration. This protein may also play a neuroprotective role during ischemic brain injury. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]. * **UniProt Summary**: Critical component of the visual transduction cascade, controlling the calcium concentration of outer segments during light and darkness. Light causes a rapid lowering of cytosolic free calcium in the outer segment of both retinal rod and cone photoreceptors and the light-induced lowering of calcium is caused by extrusion via this protein which plays a key role in the process of light adaptation. Transports 1 Ca(2+) and 1 K(+) in exchange for 4 Na(+). |Na Ca ex| |calcium, potassium:sodium antiporter activity| |long-term synaptic depression| |symporter activity| |long-term synaptic potentiation| |calcium channel activity| |negative regulation of synaptic transmission| |sodium ion transmembrane transport| |memory| |learning| |positive regulation of synaptic transmission| |sodium ion transport| |potassium ion transmembrane transport| |protein dimerization activity| |potassium ion transport| |regulation of synaptic plasticity| |calcium ion transmembrane transport| |visual perception| |sensory perception of light stimulus| |calcium ion transport| |learning or memory| |anion transmembrane transport| |divalent metal ion transport| |cognition| |divalent inorganic cation transport| |monovalent inorganic cation transport| |cellular calcium ion homeostasis| |modulation of chemical synaptic transmission| |regulation of trans-synaptic signaling| |calcium ion homeostasis| |cellular divalent inorganic cation homeostasis| |divalent inorganic cation homeostasis| |cellular metal ion homeostasis| |inorganic cation transmembrane transport| |behavior| |anion transport| |cation transmembrane transport| |metal ion homeostasis| |cellular cation homeostasis| |metal ion transport| |cellular ion homeostasis| |inorganic ion transmembrane transport| |cation homeostasis| |inorganic ion homeostasis| |cellular chemical homeostasis| |ion homeostasis| |cation transport| |cellular homeostasis| |ion transmembrane transport| |sensory perception| |chemical homeostasis| |transmembrane transport| |negative regulation of cell communication| |negative regulation of signaling| |ion transport| |nervous system process| |integral component of plasma membrane| |homeostatic process| |positive regulation of cell communication| |positive regulation of signaling| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp429|Rapamycin 0.001μM R08 exp429]]|-1.97| |[[:results:exp223|Cabazitaxel 0.001μM R05 exp223]]|-1.85| |[[:results:exp144|PFI-3 10μM R03 exp144]]|-1.82| |[[:results:exp372|Ibrutinib 1μM R07 exp372]]|-1.7| |[[:results:exp229|Dimethyloxaloylglycine 100μM R05 exp229]]|1.79| |[[:results:exp187|proTAME 5μM R04 exp187]]|2.37| ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:r:rrm1|RRM1]]|0.474| Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **Essentiality Rank**: 10101 * **Expression level (log2 read counts)**: 1.55 {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}}
