  • FUNCTION Calcium, potassium:sodium antiporter that transports 1 Ca(2+) and 1 K(+) in exchange for 4 Na(+) (PubMed:12379639, PubMed:26631410). Controls the rapid response termination and proper regulation of adaptation in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) which subsequently influences how odor information is encoded and perceived (By similarity). May play a role in calcium transport during amelogenesis (PubMed:23375655, PubMed:24621671).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Ca(2+)(out) + K(+)(out) + 4 Na(+)(in) = Ca(2+)(in) + K(+)(in) + 4 Na(+)(out)SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Expressed abundantly in all regions of the brain, aorta, lung and thymus (PubMed:12379639). Expressed at lower levels in the stomach and intestine (PubMed:12379639).POLYMORPHISM Genetic variants in SLC24A4 define the skin/hair/eye pigmentation variation locus 6 (SHEP6) [MIM:210750]. Hair, eye and skin pigmentation are among the most visible examples of human phenotypic variation, with a broad normal range that is subject to substantial geographic stratification. In the case of skin, individuals tend to have lighter pigmentation with increasing distance from the equator. By contrast, the majority of variation in human eye and hair color is found among individuals of European ancestry, with most other human populations fixed for brown eyes and black hair.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the Ca(2+):cation antiporter (CaCA) (TC 2.A.19) family. SLC24A subfamily.CAUTION It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-18 is the initiator.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.SEQUENCE CAUTION Probable cloning artifact.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.
