NHE5 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

Na+/H+ exchangers (NHE) of mammalian cells are plasma membrane intrinsic proteins mediating exchange of N+ and H+ ions in various tissues. The NHE catalyzes the electroneural transport of extracellular Na+ for intracellular H+. They play a major role in regulation of intracellular pH (pHi) in addition to trans-cellular absorption of Na+, cell volume regulation and possibly in cell proliferation. These primary functions of the Na+/H+ exchanger have been related to many pathophysiological states, including hypertension, organ growth and hypertrophy, and regression of cancer and renal intestinal disorders. Five NHE isoforms (NHE1-5) have been cloned so far. They are all similar in their primary structure and predicted to have 10-12 transmembrane domains. The COOH-terminals of NHE1, NHE2 and NHE3 are intracellular.

NHE5 (chromosome 16q22.1) is expressed in human brain, testis, spleen and skeletal muscle. It is involved in pH regulation to eliminate acids generated by active metabolism. It is a major proton extruding system driven by the inward sodium ion chemical gradient (1).

Small volumes of anti-NHE5 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS613630 is an antibody targeting NHE5. Also known as NHE5 (Na, H Exchanger 5). Reactive in Human. Host: Rabbit.
