Abstract excerpt
The Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) mediated Ca(2+) fluxes are essential for handling Ca(2+) homeostasis in many cell-types. Eukaryotic NCX variants contain regulatory CBD1 and CBD2 domains, whereas in distinct variants the Ca(2+) binding to Ca3-Ca4 sites of CBD1 results either in sustained activation, inhibition or no effect. CBD2 contains an alternatively spliced segment, which is expressed in a tissue-specific...
