| Official gene symbol | | SLC24A2 |
| Full name | | solute carrier family 24 (sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger), member 2 |
| Aliases | | ,NCKX2, |
| Gene summary | | The 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] |
