Slc9c1 Gene Summary [Rat]
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 flagellated sperm motility. Predicted to be located in motile cilium. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SLC9C1 (solute carrier family 9 member C1). [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 rat Slc9c1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Cyclic nucleotide-binding domain
- Sodium/hydrogen exchanger family
- protein binding
- ion channel
- Cyclic nucleotide-monophosphate binding domain
- CAP_ED
- sodium:hydrogen antiporter
