High impact information on Slc9a4

  • Histological abnormalities were observed in the gastric mucosa of 9-week-old NHE4-/- mice, including sharply reduced numbers of parietal cells, a loss of mature chief cells, increased numbers of mucous and undifferentiated cells, and an increase in the number of necrotic and apoptotic cells [1].
  • Impaired gastric acid secretion in mice with a targeted disruption of the NHE4 Na+/H+ exchanger [1].
  • Analysis of stomach contents revealed that NHE4-/- mice were hypochlorhydric [1].
  • The NHE4 Na+/H+ exchanger is abundantly expressed on the basolateral membrane of gastric parietal cells [1].
  • Immunostaining showed that NHE1, NHE2, and NHE4 were present in both apical and basolateral membranes [2].
 

Biological context of Slc9a4

 

Anatomical context of Slc9a4

  • However, unlike NHE4 in other tissues, the MIA-resistant component did not transport Li+ in exchange for H+, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction detected NHE4 mRNA in the oocyte but not in later stages [5].
  • MKTAL cells express NHE2 and NHE1 proteins but not NHE3 and NHE4, whereby NHE2 protein is expressed selectively in the apical domain of the plasma membrane [6].
  • In two types of epithelial cells, kidney and stomach, NHE4 is localized to the basolateral membrane [4].
  • By Western blot analysis, NHE4 was identified as a 65- to 70-kDa protein that was expressed most abundantly in stomach and in multiple additional epithelial and nonepithelial rat tissues including skeletal muscle, heart, kidney, uterus, and liver [4].
 

Associations of Slc9a4 with chemical compounds

  • The results indicate that the basolaterally located NHE1, NHE2, and NHE4, in addition to participating in the homeostatic control of intracellular pH, may play a role in H(+) extrusion in order to achieve transepithelial HCO(3)(-) secretion [2].
  • The MIA-resistant component was inhibited by 2 mM amiloride and enhanced by external K+ and by 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate, suggesting NHE4 activity [5].
 

Other interactions of Slc9a4

  • The relative contribution of the different isoforms to pH(i)- and hyperosmolarity-activated Na(+)/H(+) exchange in the different cell types paralleled their relative expression levels. cAMP elevation also stimulated NHE4, whereas an increase in osmolarity above a certain threshold further increased NHE1 and not NHE4 activity [3].
