Automated Description
Predicted to enable potassium:proton antiporter activity and sodium:proton antiporter activity. Predicted to be involved in potassium ion transmembrane transport; regulation of intracellular pH; and sodium ion import across plasma membrane. Predicted to be located in endomembrane system and membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in epithelial cell; hypodermis; and spermathecal-uterine junction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital secretory sodium diarrhea 8 and end stage renal disease. Orthologous to human SLC9A3 (solute carrier family 9 member A3) and SLC9A5 (solute carrier family 9 member A5).
WB Description
nhx-3 encodes a sodium/proton exchanger expressed intracellularly (in elliptical, randomly distributed dots that might be multivesicular or Ward bodies) within hypodermal cells of the main body syncytium, socket cells, and the excretory pore cell, as well as (in adults) within uterine cells (probably ut1) in the region closest to the vulva, in spermathecal junction cells; nhx-3 has no obvious phenotype in mass RNAi screens; NHX-3 is thought to prevent intracellular acidification by catalysing the electroneutral exchange of vesicular sodium for an intracellular proton; speculatively, NHX-3 might enable hypodermis-specific secretion of cuticle or phagocytosis.
