Forefront of Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger Studies: Stoichiometry of Cardiac Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger; 3:1 or 4:1?
The stoichiometry of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) had been generally accepted as 3Na+:1 Ca2+. However, recently a challenging stoichiometry of 4:1 was proposed. Therefore, using guinea pig ventricular cells, we re-examined the stoichiometry by measuring the reversal potential of the NCX current and...
