Abstract excerpt
The Na+/H+ exchangers (NHEs) are membrane-bound transporters that catalyze the electro-neutral movement of extracellular Na+ for intracellular H+. NHE genes play a critical role in pH homeostasis and cellular volume regulation and can be considered candidate genes for essential hypertension and renal disease. This study was performed to determine whether the NHE genes contributed to genetic susceptibility in...
