Solute carrier family 8 member B1 (SLC8B1), also known as SLC24A6 or NCLX (mitochondrial Na/Ca exchanger) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 12q24.13. The encoded protein belongs to the SLC family and is expressed in variety tissues including vessel, lymph node, ovary, bladder and testis.
Synonyms: Anti-FLJ22233; Anti-NCKX6; Anti-NCLX; Anti-SLC24A6

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: Solute carrier family 8 member B1 (SLC8B1) functions as a mitochondrial sodium calcium exchanger and is implicated in maintaining cellular Ca2+ homeostasis in diverse tissues and cell types. The encoded protein regulates Ca2+ induced NAD(P)H production and matrix redox state by controlling the mitochondrial Ca2+ elevations. SLC8B1 also plays an essential role in regulating automaticity of the HL-1 cardiomyocytes by controlling sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ handling .
