High impact information on SLC24A4

  • NCKX4 transcripts were abundantly expressed in all brain regions, aorta, lung, and thymus, as well as at a lower level in many other tissues [1].
  • The discovery of NCKX4, as far as can be ascertained from the current version of the human genome sequence, completes the mammalian potassium-dependent sodium-calcium exchanger gene family [1].
  • The purpose of the present study was to identify the expression and function of NCKX in arteries. mRNA encoding NCKX3 and NCKX4 was demonstrated by RT-PCR and Northern blot in both rat mesenteric and aortic smooth muscle [2].
  • NCKX2 is expressed in the brain, in retinal cone photoreceptors and in retinal ganglion cells, while NCKX3 and NCKX4 show a broader expression pattern [3].
