High impact information on SLC9A6

 

Biological context of SLC9A6

  • These results suggest that, like its homologs in yeast and plants, NHE6 is an endosomal Na(+)/H(+) exchanger that may regulate intravesicular pH and volume and contribute to lysosomal biogenesis [3].
 

Anatomical context of SLC9A6

 

Other interactions of SLC9A6

  • 1. The SLC9A6 and FGF13 genes in this region, were selected and screened for mutation in this family, but no mutation was detected [6].
  • All, except NHE-6 and NHE-7, which are located intracellularly, are restricted to the sarcolemmal membrane [7].
  • Vestibular hair bundles control pH with (Na+, K+)/H+ exchangers NHE6 and NHE9 [8].
  • The NHE-1 subtype is the predominant isoform in the heart, but NHE-6 is also expressed in the heart [7].
  • The segmental location and function of NHE-5 and NHE-6 in the kidney are unknown at present [9].
