The functional role of ionic regulation of the NaS+/Ca2S+ exchanger assessed in transgenic mouse hearts

Sodium-calcium exchange is the principal mechanism for cellular Ca 2+ efflux following a cardiac contraction. On a beat-to-beat basis, the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger removes a similar quantity of Ca2+ from cardiac cells as that entering through L-type Ca2+ channels. As such, the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger plays a...
