Mechanism of extracellular ion exchange and binding-site occlusion in the sodium-calcium exchanger

Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchangers utilize the Na(+) electrochemical gradient across the plasma membrane to extrude intracellular Ca(2+), and play a central role in Ca(2+) homeostasis. Here, we elucidate their mechanisms of extracellular ion recognition and exchange through a structural analysis of the exchang...
