SLC9A3 solute carrier family 9 member A3 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 6550)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 6550)
Symbol: SLC9A3
Full name: solute carrier family 9 member A3
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: DIAR8; NHE-3; NHE3
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an epithelial brush border Na/H exchanger that uses an inward sodium ion gradient to expel acids from the cell. Defects in this gene are a cause of congenital secretory sodium diarrhea. Pseudogenes of this gene exist on chromosomes 10 and 22. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
