The SLC24 Na + /Ca 2+ -K + exchanger family: vision and beyond

Schnetkamp, Paul P. M.·2004·Pfl�gers Archiv European Journal of Physiology

Abstract

Na(+)/Ca(2+)-K(+) exchange (NCKX) was first discovered in the outer segments of vertebrate rod photoreceptors (ROS), where it is the only mechanism for extruding the Ca(2+) that enters ROS via the light-sensitive and cGMP-gated channels. ROS NCKX1 is the only NCKX gene family member studied extensively in situ. ROS NCKX1 cDNAs have been cloned subsequently from a number of species including man and shown to be the first member of a new gene family ( SLCA24). Three further members of the human NCKX gene family have been cloned subsequently ( NCKX2- 4) by homology with NCKX1, while a partial sequence of a fifth human NCKX gene has appeared in the data base. NCKX-related genes have also been identified in lower animals including fruit flies, worms and sea urchins. NCKX2 is expressed in the brain, in retinal cone photoreceptors and in retinal ganglion cells, while NCKX3 and NCKX4 show a broader expression pattern. In situ NCKX1 and heterologously expressed NCKX2 operate at a 4Na(+):1Ca(2+)+1 K(+) stoichiometry; both NCKX1 and NCKX2 are bidirectional transporters normally extruding Ca(2+) from the cell (forward exchange), but also able to carry Ca(2+) into the cell (reverse exchange) when the transmembrane Na(+) gradient is reversed. Sequence changes have been observed for both NCKX1 and NCKX2 in patients with retinal diseases, but a definitive association with retinal disease has not been shown.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Involvement of NCKX5 in this process is highly likely given the role of this family of proteins in transmembrane Ca2+ transport and the higher ion exchange activity of NCKX5-111A compared to NCKX5-111T.

    “The involvement of NCKX5 in this process is highly likely given the role of this family of proteins in transmembrane Ca 2 þ transport (Schnetkamp, 2004), and the higher ion exchange activity of NCKX5-111A compared to NCKX5-111T (Ginger et al., 2008).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
