Slc9a5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables sodium:proton antiporter activity. Involved in proton transmembrane transport and sodium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including focal adhesion; neuron spine; and recycling endosome membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in end stage renal disease. Orthologous to human SLC9A5 (solute carrier family 9 member A5). [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 Slc9a5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
