Gene: SLC9A1

Alternate names for this Gene: APNH|LIKNS|NHE-1|NHE1|PPP1R143

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a Na+/H+ antiporter that is a member of the solute carrier family 9. The encoded protein is a plasma membrane transporter that is expressed in the kidney and intestine. This protein plays a central role in regulating pH homeostasis, cell migration and cell volume. This protein may also be involved in tumor growth.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1p36.11

Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 9 member A1
