Gene information for SLC24A2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID25769
Official gene symbolSLC24A2
Full namesolute carrier family 24 (sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger), member 2
Aliases,NCKX2,
Gene summaryThe outer segment of retinal rod and cone photoreceptors contains electrogenic sodium-calcium exchangers which mediate a light-induced decrease in free calcium concentration. This function in cones is performed by SLC24A2 (Prinsen et al., 2000 [PubMed 10662833]).[supplied by OMIM]
