SLC8A2

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: SLC8A2
  • Official Name: solute carrier family 8 member A2
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 6543
  • UniProt: Q9UPR5
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: N/A
  • 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. 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. Plays a role in regulating urinary Ca(2+) and Na(+) excretion. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K596}.
