Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger 1/2 Double-Heterozygote Knockout Mice Display Increased Nitric Oxide Component and Altered Colonic Motility

The Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) is a plasma membrane transporter involved in regulating intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. NCX is critical for Ca2+ regulation in cardiac muscle, vascular smooth muscle, and nerve fibers. To determine the role of NCX1 and NCX2 in gastrointestinal tissues, we examined ele...
