Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Na+/Ca2+/Li+ exchanger (NCLX) is a member of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger family. NCLX is unique in its capacity to transport both Na+ and Li+, unlike other members, which are Na+ selective. The major aim of this study was twofold, i.e., to identify NCLX residues that confer Li+ or Na+ selective Ca2+ transport and map their putative location on NCLX cation transport site. METHOD: We combined molecular...
