The Na/Ca-K exchanger gene family.
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 2002 November
Ca(2+) extrusion driven by both the inward Na(+) gradient as well as the outward K(+) gradient is essential for visual transduction in retinal rod and cone photoreceptors because it removes Ca(2+) that enters photoreceptors via the cGMP-gated and light-sensitive channels. We have cloned rod and cone Na/Ca-K exchanger (NCKX) cDNAs from several species, and we have cloned NCKX cDNAs from lower organisms that lack vertebrate-type vision. Although in situ NCKX physiology has only been documented for vertebrate photoreceptors, it is now clear that NCKX gene products have a much broader distribution pattern. Here, we review some of the structural and functional features that have emerged from our studies on different members of the NCKX gene family.
