SummarySummary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
In cardiac myocytes, Ca(2+) concentrations alternate between high levels during contraction and low levels during relaxation. The increase in Ca(2+) concentration during contraction is primarily due to release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores. However,

Sodium/calcium exchanger 1 (Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange protein 1) (Solute carrier family 8 member 1)
Protein function
Mediates the exchange of one Ca(2+) ion against three to four Na(+) ions across the cell membrane, and thereby contributes to the regulation of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels and Ca(2+)-dependent cellular processes (PubMed:11241183, PubMed:1374913, P
