Description

Exhibits calcium:sodium antiporter activity. Involved in several processes, including heart contraction; heart looping; and skeletal muscle tissue development. Predicted to localize to membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension. Is expressed in several structures, including Kupffer's vesicle; blood; digestive system; muscle; and pleuroperitoneal region. Orthologous to human SLC8A1 (solute carrier family 8 member A1).
