Gene: SLC9A2

Alternate names for this Gene: NHE2

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the sodium-hydrogen exchanger (NHE) protein family. These proteins are involved in sodium-ion transport by exchanging intracellular hydrogen ions to external sodium ions and help in the regulation of cell pH and volume. The encoded protein is localized to the apical membrane and is involved in apical absorption of sodium.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q12.1

Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 9 member A2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
