Slc9a6 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables potassium:proton antiporter activity and sodium:proton antiporter activity. Involved in regulation of intracellular pH and regulation of postsynaptic membrane neurotransmitter receptor levels. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor receptor signaling pathway; dendritic spine development; and regulation of neurotrophin TRK receptor signaling pathway. Located in several cellular components, including axon; dendrite; and endosome. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; gut; and immune system. Used to study Christianson syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Christianson syndrome. Orthologous to human SLC9A6 (solute carrier family 9 member A6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Slc9a6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
