Abstract excerpt
The mammalian Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger, NCX1.1, serves as the main mechanism for Ca(2+) efflux across the sarcolemma following cardiac contraction. In addition to transporting Ca(2+), NCX1.1 activity is also strongly regulated by Ca(2+) binding to two intracellular regulatory domains, CBD1 and CBD2. The structures of both of these domains have been solved by NMR spectroscopy and x-ray crystallography, greatly...
