The proteins NCX1, NCX2, and NCX3 expressed on the plasma membrane of neurons play a crucial role in ionic regulation because they are the major bidirectional system promoting the efflux and influx of Na(+) and Ca(2+) ions. Here, we demonstrate that NCX1 and NCX3 proteins are novel additional tar...
