Gene ontology (GO)Gene Ontology (GO) annotations describing the biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components associated with a gene.
Sodium/calcium exchanger 2 (Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange protein 2) (Solute carrier family 8 member 2)
Protein function
Mediates the electrogenic exchange of Ca(2+) against Na(+) ions across the cell membrane, and thereby contributes to the regulation of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels and Ca(2+)-dependent cellular processes. Contributes to cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis
