Automated Description
Enables ankyrin binding activity; calcium:sodium antiporter activity; and calmodulin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including metal ion transport; positive regulation of bone mineralization; and positive regulation of the force of heart contraction. Located in nucleoplasm; plasma membrane; and synapse. Implicated in hypertension. Biomarker of Alzheimer's disease and pulmonary hypertension.
RGD Description
In cardiac myocytes, Ca(2+) concentrations alternate between high levels during contraction and low levels during relaxation. The increase in Ca(2+) concentration during contraction is primarily due to release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores. However, some Ca(2+) also enters the cell through the sarcolemma (plasma membrane). During relaxation, Ca(2+) is sequestered within the intracellular stores. To prevent overloading of intracellular stores, the Ca(2+) that entered across the sarcolemma must be extruded from the cell. The Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger is the primary mechanism by which the Ca(2+) is extruded from the cell during relaxation. In the heart, the exchanger may play a key role in digitalis action. The exchanger is the dominant mechanism in returning the cardiac myocyte to its resting state following excitation.[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2004]
