Na+/Ca2+ exchanger is also known as solute carrier family 8 member A1 (SLC8A1) and is present in the plasma membrane. It is predicted to have nine transmembrane segments and the gene encoding SLC8A1 has three promoters.
Specificity
The antibody reacts specifically with Na+/Ca2+ exchanger in kidney and cardiac tissues. By immunohistology, staining of the plasma membrane and intense staining of the cardiac T-tubular membrane is observed. The antibody is not recommended for immunoblotting of rat tissues.
Immunogen
dog cardiac Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. The epitope is in the region of amino acids 371-525, which is on the intracellular side of the plasma membrane.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (SLC8A1, solute carrier family 8 member A1) is involved in Ca2+ homeostasis. Depending on physiological conditions prevailing in the cell, it can either pump out Na+ or Ca2+.

There is growing evidence that severe decline of skeletal muscle mass and function with age may be mitigated by exercise and dietary supplementation with protein and amino acid ingredient technologies. The purposes of this study were to examine the effects

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that can be differentiated into osteoblasts and provide an excellent cell source for bone regeneration and repair. Recently, the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway has been found to play a critical role in skeletal
Plasma membrane Na+/Ca2+ exchanger 1 (NCX1) is a bidirectional ion transporter to operate in Ca2+ entry or exit modes, and TRPC1 is Ca2+-permeable channel. Both NCX1 and TRPC1 play critical roles in maintaining cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]cyt) homeostasis in mammalian

FGFRL1 (fibroblast growth factor receptor like 1) is the fifth and most recently discovered member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family. With up to 50% amino acid similarity, its extracellular domain closely resembles that of the four conventional
Myoblast migration is essential for muscle development and repair; however, the factors that contribute to the polarity of migrating myoblasts are relatively unknown. We find that randomly migrating C2C12 myoblasts orient their centrosomes in the direction of migration. Using wounded
