Abstract excerpt
NCX1 is modeled to contain nine transmembrane segments (TMS) with a large intracellular loop between TMS 5-6 and two reentrant loops connecting TMS 2-3 and TMS 7-8. NCX1 also contains two regions of internal repeats. The alpha repeats are composed of TMS 2 and 3 and TMS 7 and 8 and are involved in ion binding and transport. The beta repeats are in the large intracellular loop and are involved in binding of...
