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 be located in plasma membrane. Expressed in excretory cell; intestine; and phasmid sensillum. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital secretory sodium diarrhea 8 and end stage renal disease. Is an ortholog of human SLC9A3 (solute carrier family 9 member A3) and SLC9A5 (solute carrier family 9 member A5).

Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
