gene: nhx-8 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable potassium:proton antiporter activity and sodium:proton antiporter activity. Predicted to be involved in potassium ion transmembrane transport and regulation of intracellular pH. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in several structures, including hypodermis; pharyngeal muscle cell; pharyngeal-intestinal valve; rectal valve cell; and vulva. Is an ortholog of human SLC9A8 (solute carrier family 9 member A8).
