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, Aug 2013]. * **UniProt Summary**: Mediates the electrogenic exchange of Ca(2+) against Na(+) ions across the cell membrane, and thereby contributes to the regulation of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels and Ca(2+)-dependent cellular processes. Contributes to cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis in excitable cells, both in muscle and in brain. In a first phase, voltage-gated channels mediate the rapid increase of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels due to release of Ca(2+) stores from the endoplasmic reticulum. SLC8A3 mediates the export of Ca(2+) from the cell during the next phase, so that cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels rapidly return to baseline. Contributes to Ca(2+) transport during excitation-contraction coupling in muscle. In neurons, contributes to the rapid decrease of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels back to baseline after neuronal activation, and thereby contributes to modulate synaptic plasticity, learning and memory (By similarity). Required for normal oligodendrocyte differentiation and for normal myelination (PubMed:21959935). Mediates Ca(2+) efflux from mitochondria and contributes to mitochondrial Ca(2+) ion homeostasis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:S4R2P9, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21959935}. |Na Ca ex| |Calx-beta| |calcium:cation antiporter activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic cytosolic calcium ion concentration| |ion antiporter activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential| |calcium ion export across plasma membrane| |calcium:sodium antiporter activity| |calcium ion export| |calcium ion import across plasma membrane| |sarcoplasm| |calcium ion import into cytosol| |regulation of postsynaptic cytosolic calcium ion concentration| |regulation of skeletal muscle contraction| |mitochondrial calcium ion transmembrane transport| |mitochondrial calcium ion homeostasis| |intrinsic component of plasma membrane| |export across plasma membrane| |calcium ion import| |integral component of postsynaptic membrane| |long-term synaptic potentiation| |cellular response to cAMP| |calcium ion transmembrane import into cytosol| |regulation of cardiac conduction| |oligodendrocyte differentiation| |calcium ion transport into cytosol| |inorganic ion import across plasma membrane| |inorganic cation import across plasma membrane| |neuromuscular junction| |hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation| |cytosolic calcium ion transport| |sodium ion transmembrane transport| |regulation of striated muscle contraction| |import across plasma membrane| |sarcolemma| |response to cAMP| |myelination| |ensheathment of neurons| |axon ensheathment| |memory| |perikaryon| |response to organophosphorus| |learning| |dendritic spine| |positive regulation of synaptic transmission| |response to purine-containing compound| |sodium ion transport| |regulation of muscle contraction| |mitochondrial outer membrane| |glial cell differentiation| |cellular response to hypoxia| |regulation of synaptic plasticity| |calcium ion transmembrane transport| |cellular response to decreased oxygen levels| |calmodulin binding| |gliogenesis| |cellular response to oxygen levels| |regulation of muscle system process| |regulation of heart contraction| |calcium ion transport| |telencephalon development| |learning or memory| |positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration| |regulation of blood circulation| |divalent metal ion transport| |cognition| |divalent inorganic cation transport| |microtubule| |regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration| |response to hypoxia| |response to decreased oxygen levels| |response to oxygen levels| |forebrain development| |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 response to organic cyclic compound| |cell junction| |cellular metal ion homeostasis| |hemopoiesis| |inorganic cation transmembrane transport| |behavior| |regulation of system process| |cellular response to organonitrogen compound| |hematopoietic or lymphoid organ development| |cation transmembrane transport| |metal ion homeostasis| |cellular cation homeostasis| |metal ion transport| |cellular ion homeostasis| |inorganic ion transmembrane transport| |immune system development| |cellular response to nitrogen compound| |import into cell| |perinuclear region of cytoplasm| |cation homeostasis| |inorganic ion homeostasis| |brain development| |cellular chemical homeostasis| |head development| |ion homeostasis| |cation transport| |cellular homeostasis| |response to organic cyclic compound| |endoplasmic reticulum membrane| |ion transmembrane transport| |central nervous system development| |response to organonitrogen compound| |export from cell| |cellular response to oxygen-containing compound| |response to nitrogen compound| |chemical homeostasis| |response to abiotic stimulus| |cellular response to endogenous stimulus| |transmembrane transport| |ion transport| |nervous system process| |integral component of plasma membrane| |response to endogenous stimulus| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |neurogenesis| |homeostatic process| |cellular response to stress| |positive regulation of cell communication| |positive regulation of signaling| |establishment of localization in cell| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp191|Hypoxia 5%O2 R04 exp191]]|-1.74| |[[:results:exp132|Metformin 40μM R03 exp132]]|1.8| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
