- Description
- ncx-4 encodes a putative 4Na[+]/1Ca[2+],1K[+] exchanger, orthologous to human SLC24A1-5 and paralogous to NCX-5; NCX-4 is predicted to export free cytoplasmic Ca[2+] with low affinity but high capacity, being complemented by low-capacity/high-affinity Ca[2+] ATPase pumps such as MCA-1/-3; NCX-4 has tandem Calx-alpha domains predicted to carry out ion transport; NCX-4 has no obvious function in mass RNAi assays.
