Abstract excerpt
The Na+/H+ antiporter is a ubiquitous membrane-associated protein that plays an important role in the regulation of intracellular pH. APNH, a gene encoding the antiporter, has been cloned and mapped to the short arm of chromosome 1 by in situ hybridization. Using the polymerase chain reaction, we have amplified a 376 base pair fragment corresponding to the 5' end of APNH. We have detected a polymorphism within...
