Sodium–Hydrogen Exchanger Type 1 (NHE-1)

Target
NHE-1
Molecular classification
Transporter, Ion exchanger
01

Overview

NHE-1 is a ubiquitously expressed plasma membrane protein that functions as an electroneutral antiporter, exchanging one intracellular proton (H⁺) for one extracellular sodium ion (Na⁺). This process is crucial for maintaining intracellular pH and cell volume homeostasis. It is involved in various physiological processes and implicated in several diseases, including cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
