High impact information on SLC9A9

  • We identified NHE6 in a subset of hair bundles; NHE9 was present in all bundles [1].
  • Electroneutral K+/H+ exchange, which we propose is performed by NHE9 in hair bundles, exploits the high-K+ endolymph, responds only to pH imbalance across the bundle membrane, is unaffected by the +80 mV endocochlear potential, and uses mechanisms already present in the ear for K+ recycling [1].
  • NHE6 and NHE9 are organellar isoforms that can appear transiently on plasma membranes and have been proposed to mediate K+/H+ exchange [1].
  • RESULTS: The amplification products were subsequently sequenced to reveal that the breakpoints lay within an intron of the dedicator of cytokinesis 3 (DOCK3) gene at the p arm breakpoint, and an intron of a novel member of the solute carrier family 9 (sodium/hydrogen exchanger) isoform 9 (SLC9A9) at the q arm [2].
