Slc8a2 solute carrier family 8 (sodium/calcium exchanger), member 2 [ Mus musculus (house mouse) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 110891)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 110891)
Symbol: Slc8a2
Full name: solute carrier family 8 (sodium/calcium exchanger), member 2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: Ncx2
Summary: Enables calcium:sodium antiporter activity. Involved in several processes, including inorganic cation transmembrane transport; learning or memory; and regulation of short-term neuronal synaptic plasticity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; regulation of action potential firing pattern; and response to ischemia. Located in axon terminus and postsynaptic density. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain; cerebral cortex; cerebral cortex mantle layer; embryo; and olfactory cortex mantle layer. Orthologous to human SLC8A2 (solute carrier family 8 member A2).
