|
| Function |
Cation exchanger involved in pigmentation, possibly by participating in ion transport in melanosomes. Predominant sodium- Calcium exchanger in melanocytes. Probably transports 1 Ca(2+) and 1 K(+) to the melanosome in exchange for 4 cytoplasmic Na(+). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16357253, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18166528}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Melanosome. Note=Enriched in late-stage melanosomes.
