MeSH definition : A sodium-hydrogen antiporter expressed by many cell types, especially on the basolateral
surfaces of EPITHELIAL CELLS. It functions through an inward sodium ion chemical gradient
to eliminate acids (protons) generated by metabolism and regulate intracellular pH.
It is highly sensitive to AMILORIDE.;
