Protein names and data: NCKX2_HUMAN, Full=Sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger 2, Full=Na(+)/K(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange protein 2;Full=Retinal cone Na-Ca+K exchanger;Full=Solute carrier family 24 member 2; Length: 661 a.a., Mass: 73664 Da,
fasta formatted sequence

Function: Critical component of the visual transduction cascade, controlling the calcium concentration of outer segments during light and darkness. Light causes a rapid lowering of cytosolic free calcium in the outer segment of both retinal rod and cone photoreceptors and the light-induced lowering of calcium is caused by extrusion via this protein which plays a key role in the process of light adaptation. Transports 1 Ca(2+) and 1 K(+) in exchange for 4 Na(+)
Cellular location: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
