About SLC8A2

Cytogenetic location: 19q13.32 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:47,428,017-47,471,893 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 200 orthologues and 7 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 19.6), endometrium (RPKM 1.5) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

Predicted to enable calcium:cation antiporter activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic cytosolic calcium ion concentration and calcium:sodium antiporter activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including inorganic cation transmembrane transport; learning or memory; and regulation of short-term neuronal synaptic plasticity. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; regulation of action potential firing pattern; and response to ischemia. Part of presynapse. Biomarker of Alzheimer's disease. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
