Anti-SLC9A7

This gene encodes a sodium and potassium/ proton antiporter that is a member of the solute carrier family 9 protein family. The encoded protein is primarily localized to the trans-Golgi network and is involved in maintaining pH homeostasis in organelles along the secretory and endocytic pathways. This protein may enhance cell growth of certain breast tumors. This gene is part of a gene cluster on chromosome Xp11.23. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 12. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Protein function: Mediates electroneutral exchange of protons for Na(+) and K(+) across endomembranes. May contribute to Golgi volume and cation homeostasis. [The UniProt Consortium]
