What is NCX Pumps: Key to Calcium Homeostasis about?
Sodium-calcium exchangers (NCX) are membrane proteins that regulate intracellular calcium and sodium levels through bidirectional ion exchange. There are three main NCX isoforms that maintain ion homeostasis in cells like cardiac and neuronal cells. NCX pumps control calcium levels which are crucial for processes like muscle contraction, neurotransmission and cell signaling by either exporting calcium from cells in exchange for sodium or importing calcium using sodium.
