The SLC8 gene family of sodium-calcium exchangers (NCX)-Structure, function, and regulation in health and disease
2013, Molecular Aspects of MedicineCitation Excerpt :Rapamycin reduces NCX2 and NCX3 activity but has no effect on their surface expression or the total NCX expression, whereas the regulatory f-loop of NCX might be involved in acquisition of immunosuppressive drug specificity. The β-cells express two specific isoforms of NCX1, NCX1.3, and NCX1.7 (Van Eylen et al., 2001; Herchuelz et al., 2002, 2007). In β-cells, NCX displays a high capacity and contributes to controlling [Ca2+] and insulin release.
Intestinal Na<sup>+</sup>/Ca<sup>2+</sup> exchanger protein and gene expression are regulated by 1,25(OH)<inf>2</inf>D<inf>3</inf> in vitamin D-deficient chicks
2011, Archives of Biochemistry and BiophysicsCitation Excerpt :The 70 kDa is a proteolytic product and the 120 kDa is the full-length protein. Both proteins seem to be functionally active [31]. We did not exclude the presence of other isoforms of NCX protein in chick intestine.
Ca<sup>2+</sup> Signaling by TRPC3 Involves Na<sup>+</sup> Entry and Local Coupling to the Na<sup>+</sup>/Ca<sup>2+</sup> Exchanger
2004, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Immunoblotting experiments with HEK293 lysates revealed a pattern of proteins that is typically observed in NCX expressing cells, including a band at 70 kDa and ∼120 kDa. Consistently, the immunoreactivity retained in GST pull-down experiments with a TRPC3 fragment as bait displayed a molecular mass of ∼120 and 70 kDa corresponding to native full-length and truncated forms of NCX1 described in other cell types (16, 26, 27). Moreover, we obtained convincing evidence for a Na+-dependent Ca2+ transport system in HEK293 cells.
Molecular Cloning of a Sixth Member of the K<sup>+</sup>-dependent Na <sup>+</sup>/Ca<sup>2+</sup> Exchanger Gene Family, NCKX6
2004, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Studies from our laboratory have demonstrated an abundant and unusual circular transcript of the NCX1 gene that encodes a truncated protein, containing only the first α-repeat, which is nevertheless functional when expressed in HEK-293 cells (49). Other groups have also reported similar truncated, functional NCX1 proteins (50-52). The mechanism for how such single α-repeat proteins including NCKX6 act as exchangers is not clear but may involve oligomeric association of exchanger proteins (34, 53).
