Journal ArticleDOI
Na+-Ca2+ exchange in bovine rod outer segments requires and transports K+.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that Na+-Ca2+ exchange requires and transports K+ and operates at an electrogenic stoichiometry of 4 Na+:(1 Ca2+ + 1 K+) in bovine rod photoreceptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is suggested that NCKX5 directly regulates human epidermal melanogenesis and natural skin color through its intracellular potassium-dependent exchanger activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular cloning and functional expression of the potassium-dependent sodium-calcium exchanger from human and chicken retinal cone photoreceptors.
TL;DR: The molecular cloning, intraretinal localization by in situ hybridization, and initial functional characterization of the chicken and human cone-specific Na–Ca exchangers are reported and a detailed comparison with the previously described retinal rod and brain NCKX cDNAs is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of free cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in the outer segments of bovine retinal rods by Na-Ca-K exchange measured with fluo-3. I. Efficiency of transport and interactions between cations.
TL;DR: It is concluded that physiologically occurring changes in cytosolic free Ca2+ are mediated by exchange fluxes less than 1% of the maximal Na-Ca-K exchange flux.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intracellular Ca2+ sequestration and release in intact bovine retinal rod outer segments. Role in inactivation of Na-Ca+K exchange.
TL;DR: Possible physiological roles for Ca2+ sequestration and release from ROS disks are discussed and inactivation of the rapid Ca2- efflux mode mediated by the plasma membrane Na-Ca+K exchanger is examined.
