Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Involved in pH regulation to eliminate acids generated by active metabolism or to counter adverse environmental conditions. Major proton extruding system driven by the inward sodium ion chemical gradient. Plays an important role in signal transduction. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15522866}.

Subcellular Localization

Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000269PubMed:15522866}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269PubMed:15522866}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous. Strongly expressed in skeletal muscle and kidney. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15522866}.
