Slc9a9 - solute carrier family 9 (sodium/hydrogen exchanger), member 9

Predicted to enable potassium:proton antiporter activity and sodium:proton antiporter activity. Predicted to be involved in potassium ion transmembrane transport; regulation of intracellular pH; and sodium ion import across plasma membrane. Predicted to act upstream of or within ion transport. Predicted to be located in endosome and membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane and recycling endosome. Is expressed in several structures, including ear; hemolymphoid system; nervous system; tail somite; and urinary system. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder. Orthologous to human SLC9A9 (solute carrier family 9 member A9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
